| Aug 17, 2020 at 9:38 | comment | added | Philipp Imhof | Unfortunately not. I type \alp and then choose \alpha from the list, actually pressing down-arrow and enter. I prefer this over Shift-^ for the backtick, then space (because the backtick is a dead key in my country's keyboard layout) and finally a. Maybe someone will come up with a solution. | |

Yes, that's probably why the braces are inserted, although you would need \alpha to mean something outside a mathematical environment, which it doesn't by default. It's not so much that I don't want the braces, but that I do want \alpha to be inserted inside dollar signs, so I don't think customizing TeX-insert-braces would do what I want. But thanks for the suggestion. I haven't used company-mode, but I don't think this would give me a two-key way of inserting $\alpha$, would it? | |
