Just in case somebody comes across this thread in quest of an answer to
the question how to make the assigned key code appear together with the
entry in the menu  - here something I found out accidentally and which
I did not find documented:

If I type 

flex-insert "mycustominsert"

- note the quotation marks - and assign a key code, then the key code
appears in the menu Insert -> Custom insert -> mycustominsert.

If I omit the quotation marks and type

flex-insert mycustominsert

and assign a key code, then the menu entry appears without the key
code.

This is with LyX 2.3.6.1
