with it. Is there a way to tell LyX that I already defined the command and I
don't want the macro to define it?
Perhaps a different use case is that I might want to display a built-in LaTeX
definition (or one in a package) differently, but I don't want to redefine it.
I attach a simple example.
Thanks,

I may be missing the point, but to display macros from other packages or
defined in the preamble, I work with instant preview on, then insert a
preview inset around an ERT inset and type the macro name. I've attached
the shortcut Ctrl+P to preview-insert which means that holding down Ctrl
and tapping P followed by L (which are diagonally neighbouring keys on
qwerty keyboards) you can then start typing the macro name immediately.
After moving the cursor outside both insets, after a pause for thought
the macro displays as in the pdf.
