AUCTeX + CDLaTeX pair insertion

Question

I think CDLaTeX might be causing problems with this. If I disable electric-pair-mode and use AUCteX’s built-in completion, auto-completion of pairs such as \[\] works as expected unless I have CDLaTeX mode enabled. It seems having CDLaTeX mode enabled just gives me completions of ([{, but not \[, \left(, etc. Is this expected behaviour?

Answer 1

You can set cdlatex-takeover-parenthesis to nil in order to not have cdlatex use it's own parenthesis completion.

This leaves cdlatex's autoexpansion of lr( to \left( \right) intact but also automatically adds the \right) if you type \left(.
