Thanks for the idea. Script is ready.

For mac, I get
$ bindCheck.pl mac
	file = /usr/src/lyx/lyx-git/lib/bind/mac.bind
	clash for key C-M-Right in line 365
		prev line(266)	value(depth-increment)
		new  line(365)	value(tabular-feature move-column-right)
	clash for key C-M-Left in line 366
		prev line(267)	value(depth-decrement)
		new  line(366)	value(tabular-feature move-column-left)
$ bindCheck.pl cua
	clash for key S-F7 in line 216
		prev line(120)	value(thesaurus-entry)
		new  line(216)	value(bookmark-save 7)
