smartparens does not work well in orgmode

Question

First, let me say I am new to orgmode and emacs. I am sure I am not providing all the relevant information for the problem, so please let me know what can I add here.

I am using emacs 26.3, and I use spacemacs.

The problem is:

smartparens is not working well in orgmode. This is what I see when I type the left parenthesis (

When I add a parenthesis after a whitespace) (
When I add a parenthesis with no whitespace() 

when I type \( it works well:

When I add \ and parenthesis after a whitespace \(\)

In both cases the tab key does not work to get me out of the parenthesis.

My user-config has this to load smartparens

  ;; smartparens
  (with-eval-after-load 'smartparens
    (sp-with-modes 'org-mode
      (sp-local-pair "$" "$")
      (sp-local-pair "" "" :actions '(rem))
      (sp-local-pair "=" "=" :actions '(rem))
      (sp-local-pair "" "" :actions '(rem))
      (sp-local-pair "\\left(" "\\right)" :trigger "\\l(" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
      (sp-local-pair "\\left[" "\\right]" :trigger "\\l[" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
      (sp-local-pair "\\left\\{" "\\right\\}" :trigger "\\l{" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
      (sp-local-pair "\\left|" "\\right|" :trigger "\\l|" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
      (sp-local-pair "(" ")")
      (sp-local-pair "\\(" "\\)")
      (sp-local-pair "\\[" "\\]")))

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'smartparens-mode)

Answer 1

The following settings in the user-config in my .spacemacs file makes everything work properly.

  ;; smartparens
  (require 'smartparens-config)
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "\\[" "\\]")
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "$" "$")
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "'" "'" :actions '(rem))
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "=" "=" :actions '(rem))
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "\\left(" "\\right)" :trigger "\\l(" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "\\left[" "\\right]" :trigger "\\l[" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "\\left\\{" "\\right\\}" :trigger "\\l{" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))
  (sp-local-pair 'org-mode "\\left|" "\\right|" :trigger "\\l|" :post-handlers '(sp-latex-insert-spaces-inside-pair))

This works well with org-cdlatex-mode and finally my parenthesis are matched correctly!
