Can't set "\\right)" as latex for virtual keyboard

[truebluepl]

Actual Behavior

Setting \\right) as latex for virtual keyboard key causes generating \right) as keycup and the same string is inserted into MathLive field. With \\left( there is no problem.

Expected Behavior

Latex string \\right) should generate just right parenthesis.

This is a difficult one to fix.

The \left and \right commands are currently treated as a single command that begins with \left and ends with \right. So a \right) is not recognized, because there is no matching \left.

I intend to fix that some day.

In the meantime, the workarounds are to use \left.\right) (an "invisible" left followed by a right), or a \big) and variant, or a plain ) (and let smartfence figure out if it should get translated to a \right)).

[truebluepl]

The problem is that putting "(" or ")" differ from "\left(" or "\right)" in the latex syntax. So for example we get: (x+1)2 and \left(x+1\right)2 But I found fix. Changing key string to "[(]" or "[)]" solving problem (in the latex syntax we get "\left(" and "\right)".

[arnog]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. When using a "plain )", I meant to use {key: ")"}: this produces the same effect as if you typed ) on the keyboard, which will insert a \right) if you have smartfence on and there is a matching \left command.

Using "[)]" will work as well, since it's a shortcut for {key: ")"} with some variants added.

[truebluepl]

I'm sure I got different forms. From virtual keyboard with "(" and ")" set : (x+1)2 From real keyboard: \left(x+1\right)2 When I set "[(]" and "[)]" for virtual keyboard it works like a charm.

Did you use the key property?

[truebluepl]

No. Plain property or via latex property. Whatever - you can close thread:) Thank you!

[arnog]

Right, if you use the key property, it will work. Closing now.
