Yes. See Help>Customization.
More info should also be available on http://wiki.lyx.org
Existing keybindings depend on the "emulation mode", most commonly
either
"cua" or "emacs" and to some extend also on your locale.

Thanks, GM - for your reply.
I had been trying to navigate my way through the documentation,
website, and Wiki.
I wanted to suggest to the developers (yes, I know that's a
different list), adopting this keyboard approach for physical styles.
That's already the case for most layouts (what you call style). The
default keyboard shortcuts are defined in the "cua.bind" file which
you will find in the "bind/" subdirectory of you LyX installation
directory.
The layouts are generally set with Alt-p:
Alt-p 1 chapter
Alt-p 2 section
Alt_p i itemize
...
But it seems that the issue is already very complicated. Is there
any interest in these kinds of suggestions?
Sure, there is bugzilla.lyx.org if you want to report bug or put an
enhancement request. Please verify that the item is not already
present before adding it.
Or are there deeply ingrained ways that people work with LyX?
Not sure I follow you...

All I meant by this is that there may be established systems and sets of
keystrokes that I am not familiar with . For me, layouts (or styles) and
F keys are a natural combination. They seem very well fitted. I'm not an
Emacs/TeX/LyX power user - and for all I know, F keys already have an
important use. But if not, maybe this would be useful idea for LyX in
terms of the user experience...
Feel free to play with the bind files if you wish. This will be a LOT
easier in 1.6 (which you can shortly download in beta), since there is a
shortcuts editor there.
