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?
