Description

Environment
  • TeXstudio: 4.2.2
  • Qt: 6.2.2
  • OS: MacOS 12.2.1
  • TeX distribution: texlive 2021
Expected behaviour

"Auto insert maths delimiters where needed" should add LaTeX maths delimiters \(…\) rather than TeX's $…$, or should let the user choose between LaTeX and TeX.

Moreover, how does one add custom maths to this auto delimiter insertion mechanism?
