\SpecialChar LyX
comes with excellent documentation —
please use it!
Start with the menu
\family sans
Help\SpecialChar menuseparator
Introduction
\family default
,
which will give you a very brief introduction to the documentation.
Then learn about using \SpecialChar LyX
with

\SpecialChar LyX

quotation marks

;
or Collins grammar too.
Punctuation may depend on the dialect,
but for the most part the rules are the same and,
in this case,
this is not a direct speech clause,
so I would place the point outside the quoted expression.

By design,
it is different from regular word processors —
in a way that makes writing documents easier.
But only a little different,
so don't be scared.
The documentation will make it all clear.

Yes,

And yes,
\SpecialChar LyX

Besides that,
I don't see the need to use quotation marks with text typed in a different fontface.

\SpecialChar LyX
has lots of features for people who read or write a language other than English.
In addition,
the key bindings,
toolbars,
and many other characteristics are highly configurable.
