You mix up typesetters and front ends... TeX is the real program
created by Don Knuth, LaTeX is a set of macros written by Leslie
Lamport in order to help typesetting of documents with TeX.
Lyx is a graphical and wysywyg frontend for LaTeX and Klyx is its KDE
version.
IMHO you're better have to learn the LaTeX basics (not so difficult
with a good book) than Lyx commands because, once done and with the
AucTeX package for Emacs you have a powerful typesetting system under
your finger tips.
With Lyx, all is not so hidden and you cannot customize your document
as easier than with raw LaTeX.
