LyX ⇒ Inserting many empty Paragraphs (without a Title)

[auvajs]

I want to start a new document in LyX with opening many new paragraphs (let's say more than 100). The paragraphs should be without a name/title cause I use (the automatic) paragraph number as a quasi-title/reference point (§34, §389) etc.

So far I was doing it manually via Alt+P 5 Ctrl+L (CRT box) + click outside the box - but you can imagine this is not a very convenient method if I need to start lots of new paragraphs.

Another question: how to leave the CRT box with a keyboard shortcut so that I don't need to click outside the box?
