Dear Scott,
It does thank you! However presing "alt+m, shift+9" is a bit unconfortable and
slow. A command like \( would be more convienet, however if I make one like
that with an arugment, LyX places the cursor outside the parantheses, not
inside. Whereas if I name the command \per, it works as expected.

Does alt + m, <delimiter> do what you want? For example, "alt + m, (".
That means, first press alt + m, and then release both of those keys and
press "(".
