[AUCTeX-devel] Math prefix binding in LaTeX-math-keymap

[Augusto Ritter Stoffel]

Hi,

In LaTeX-math-keymap initialization, LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix is bound
to self-insert-command, so that trying to bind say "` ` e" to
\varepsilon via LaTeX-math-list causes an error.

Therefore, I think that binding LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix to
self-insert-command should be done only after we are sure the user won't
use it as a prefix.

I have written some code to do that, which seems to work. If you think
this change is worthwhile, I will be glad to help, but I don't know
exactly how to send it.

Diff'ing latex.el version 11.85 and my version yields

4196,4198c4196
<   (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
<     (define-key map (LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix) 'self-insert-command)
<     map)

>   (unless (lookup-key map (LaTeX-math-abbrev-prefix))
