No, Daniel. I still do not understand how to get this >>>

(From User Guide 2.7)
You will learn more and more key bindings and short-cut keys as you use 
LyX, because most actions will prompt a

 >>> small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main window

which describes the name of the action you have just triggered, and any 
existing key bindings for that action. The LyX menus also list the 
defined key bindings. The notation for the key bindings is very similar 
to the notation used in this documentation, so you should not have any 
problems understanding it. However, notice that Shift-modifiers are 
explicitly mentioned, so “Alt+P Shift+A” means Alt+P followed by a 
capital A.

Let' say, I paste with the mouse a few words in my document and do
Bold	Strg+Alt+B
which does what I want. But I can't see afterwards the

small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main window
