I had to before (defining something like \Lim=\lim\limits), but as I said in version 1.2.0 I can't even change the position of the limits not even in displayed formulas!

How > would a user interface for this look like? As for this there is no need to do anything. It is enough to put "intlimits" or "sumlimit" into the extra document options and use amsmath. And it works. As far as I know there is no amsmath option that does the same for inline formulas. That's why I thought it could be provided by LyX, in a similar way like the float options. They are also used for the whole document. so why not have a check box that, if checked, would lead to the insertion of \limits after every inlined \lim command (or \int or \sum) Ralf
