I have added the following text to my lyxrc file.
--------------------------------------------------
# These do pairs of: () {} [] <> ||
\bind "M-9" "math-delim ( )"
\bind "M-bracketright" "math-delim [ ]"
\bind "M-bracketleft" "math-delim { }"
\bind "C-period" "math-insert dots"
\bind "C-comma" "math-delim langle rangle"
\bind "M-slash" "math-delim | |"
\bind "C-slash" "math-delim Vert Vert"
\bind "C-bracketleft" "math-delim lfloor rfloor"
\bind "C-bracketright" "math-delim lceil rceil"
------------------------------------------------------
This allows me use use math delimiters very convieniently.
Unfortunately I find the delimiters to be too large.
Is there a way to force them to be slightly smaller?
Preferably I would do this in the preamble so that
the work I have done so far would not need to be modified.
Alternatively I could modify the text above so the delimiters
would be smaller in future.
As a last resort I could uses lyx macros instead of the mappings
above. This would be less convienient but preferable to the
current state of affairs.
Perhaps I should ask this question to a tex user group but I
thought I would ask here first.
Thanks

P.S. Does anybody besides me find the math delimiters to be
too large?
