Yes, I tried to guess what would open a chapter and found out that
<alt>+<P>[c] = lyx code...

I'm not quite sure what "the paragraph layout selection combo" is,
but if you mean that long list of possible keystrokes that display on
the status line when I first press <alt>+<P> then yes...

I will admit that I found kde 4.2 less difficult to deal with than 4.1...
However a few things that kde 4x crammed down my throat so offended me
that had I not found a window manager that I suits me, I was actually
considering going back to winblows over it. (And I've been bashing
them since ver 3.x)
Example: as a keyboard user who has always needed to make many
changes to the global (and application) keybindings to
a)eliminate the 75% that I never want to fat finger by mistake.
b)assign bindings that my fingers can remember to the few I do use.
And given that I have difficulty using the rodent, I found
that altering the gui key assignment routine for KEYBOARD
shortcuts in such a way that it was no longer practical to do
this without clicking on things REALLY bugged me...
Then I discovered Enlightenment, and now not even a permanent
reinstatement of kde 3.5's user interface would tempt me back.
I still install kde versions of linux because I'm accustomed to
certain kde applications, and because few (if any) linux distro have
enlightenment version installation dvd.
Note, I was not happy with the gui tool to assign shortcuts in e17
either, and would still be using e16 (where the global shortcuts are
actually in a vim editable config...) as my preferred WM in spite of
e17's enhancements except that some nice person informed me of an
e17 utility (enlightenment_remote) and gave me a copy of a bash script
(e17_setup.sh) which uses enlightenment_remote to automatically save
and restore many e17 configurations to/from a vim editable re-config
script...
