Please, consider TeXmacs: http://texmacs.org/ (TeXmacs is not based on LaTeX, but can export to LaTeX or HTML if it is necessary.) Make an informed choice between TeXmacs and LyX.
Why? What about using “standard copy/paste key bindings” (which are now active by default) and clicking your way through the graphical icons and the drop-down menus?
But it’s probably difficult to get fancy effects without learning TeXmacs more deeply. Unfortunately I can’t compare with LyX (I happen to be a TeXmacs believer… but by no means a guru—not being “motivated” enough to study the manual!)
An important thing is to take notice of the key binding for a command when you’ve finally found it in the menus. Also, if you remember a LaTeX construct, try using it—sometimes it’s available under the same name, e.g. \setminus.)

TeXMacs is a good piece of software, too, but seems to me to have a much steeper learning curve for those who are used to other word processors.
