Yes, here it works. But with DE and US only as you might expect.

Ok, I’ve checked US, ES and IT keyboards. I’ve „installed“ FR (PC) now and checked it.
I cannot find a good combination to match all possibilities...

Skim uses Ctrl-Shift-Click (aka Command-Shift-Click) on Mac.
I thought about hard coding it already but had qualms about it.

Standard X-desktop applications on Unix are able to bind actions
on mouse event too. Would it be a honorable goal to make this 
with LyX possible?

At the moment I prefer to add

\bind "C-A-F" "forward-search"

to mac.bind. I don’t think this modifier combination is available on other platforms.
