I found this but it is not intuitive at all and it's 6 years old. So, I wonder if the answer by gaborous is correct as I am using Lyx 2.2.2 and simple enter does not do the job for me:

@landroni in latest versions of Lyx it seems the shortcut is no longer necessary, a simple enter is enough to do a linebreak. – gaborous May 31 '16 at 20:54

Is there an easier way to do this? Is the answer by gaborous correct in any circumstance?

    It's not clear what you're having problems with. You need to select a column and goto Edit->Table Settings and enter an explicit width for that column. Then a simple enter will put linebreaks in the table cells. But you must specify a width for the column for this to work. – Alan Munn May 04 '17 at 15:17
  • The code can use the makecell package, which allows for line breaks in standard r, c, l columns. See my answer to (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2441/how-to-add-a-forced-line-break-inside-a-table-cell) – Bernard May 04 '17 at 15:30
  • @Bernard Given that this is a LyX question, that solution is many steps away in LyX. (Not undoable, but not able to be done through regular LyX menu functions, which is the whole idea of LyX.) – Alan Munn May 04 '17 at 15:41
  • @AlanMunn: That's precisely why I only commented, as a work around if no one on this site can explain how this functionality of makecell is included in the menus of LyX (which I don't know). – Bernard May 04 '17 at 16:08
  • @Bernard It's not included in LyX; you'd need to inject explicit LaTeX code into the document. – Alan Munn May 04 '17 at 16:12
