Because it is not convenient to type $$..$$ <backspace> just to get $$..$$. You _start_ the display math with $$, and you are going to end it in that way, and there is not enough time between $ and $ to realize that AUCTeX fudges the closing $ by itself. And just typing $$ is _very_ fast since the key is just repeated. In short: I can't believe that anybody finds the current behavior actually helpful, and I can't remember anything but complaints about it. I am ready to be convinced otherwise. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
