The closest I can get is Edit | Text Style | Customized...  The resulting
popup has no options for Code that I can see.  There is a (sub) box
labelled `Semantic Markup` with check boxes for `Emphasized` and `Noun` but
not `Code`. I checked font families and languages as well, but they don't
have it.  Maybe this is a LyX 2.3 vs 2.4 difference.

The keyboard shortcut sounds more usable anyway; I'll look into how to set
that up.
