Is there any way to add pre-formatted text to a LyX document? For

like to set "i.e." in an italic style and with a thin space between

Yes, it should be. You can do it inside your bind file for now. You'll
need to use something like:
command-sequence font-emph; self-insert i.e.; font-emph;
space-insert normal
Modify as required.
I tried the following command sequence
command-sequence font-ital; self-insert i.e.; font-ital
where I replaced font-emph in your suggestion with font-ital since I
don't want the i.e. the be emphasized, but just in italic shape. But
when I use the shortcut for this command LyX tells me that the command
is disabled. Are there any restrictions for the font-ital command that
the font-emph command doesn't have?
Thanks,
Frank
