When using Auctex to type tex files, round bracket ( can't auto-complete for me. But [ and { can do. How can I fix it?
According to introduction of LaTeX-electric-left-right-brace, this variable is set to t. But the problem also appears. Meanwhile, my auctex can't auto-complete \(, \[, \{, \left(, \bigl[, \Bigl\{.
Emacs is new and interesting for me. Please help me solve it. Thanks!
BTW: Is there any way to delete (), [], {} by pairs?
If pressing open the curly or square bracket key completes with the closing bracket, you most probably have electric-pair-mode enabled . It is a built-in minor mode. You can see modes that are active in a buffer by pressing C-h m. This mode also removes the closing bracket when there are no internal characters left and you remove the opening bracket.
If the open curly and square brackets work as expected, but the open round bracket do not, you might have some other function bound to it. Check it by pressing C-h k (. By default, it runs function self-insert-command. If it runs something else, find out what mode has done the binding and disable it.
cdlatex. After I turn off it, the auto-completion works in auctex.
smartparens. It has LaTeX support and there is pairwise deletion of brackets viasp-unwrap-sexp.smartparensworks for auto-completion of(. But I can't delete()by pairs. My key<backspace>is bound todelete-backward-charandsp-autodelete-pairist. How can I modify it to enable the automatic deletion of()by pairs?
