Ctrl-I has been 'toggle inset' since its invention.

Yes, but John already had problems with the locality of E and R. Since Ctrl+R is not standard anyway, we can start by removing it. JMarc

I'd rather remove Ctrl+R. I do not think it is standard and it is rarely used.

Re: Rarely used keybindings?
Along these lines of standard key-bindings, I vote for ctrl-I to be used for creating italics, rather than ctrl-E, which I always slip off and press ctrl-R, with dangerous consequences if I have my hand poised over the 'enter' key! Does anyone else find this?

It is not that you do it often in LyX, it is that you know it will work across all applications. JMarc

Hi all, I accidentally hit C-n when I meant to hit C-m, and was pleasantly surprised to find a new document. And I started to wonder how often people need to create new documents or close them for that matter. Couldn't these bindings (and others) be re-used for more common operations? Have fun, Darren
