How to properly configure cdlatex to work with doom emacs?

[roiholtzman]

I am using doom emacs, and I for some time now I cannot configure correctly cdlatex to work properly. It seems that every time I upgrade doom, cdlatex operates differently and I am not sure why. The main problem is that the snippets do not work properly, namely equ-TAB does not insert an equation environment, and fr-TAB does not put in \frac{}{} etc.

It seems to me that my problem is company mode which overrides the cdlatex. Is there a way to make cdlatex override the company mode? One way is to disable company mode for org mode documents, but I am not sure how to do that.

At the moment my configuration is this:

init.el

:lang       
    (latex
        +latexmk
        +cdlatex)
   (org +roam)

config.el

(after! org (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex))
(map! :after org
      :map org-cdlatex-mode
      "TAB" #'cdlatex-tab)
(after! cdlatex
  (setq cdlatex-use-dollar-to-ensure-math t)
  (map! :map cdlatex-mode-map
        :i "TAB" #'cdlatex-tab))

I would love to finally understand how this should be set.

I have disabled company mode for org files which solves the problem.

(defun zz/adjust-org-company-backends ()
  (remove-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook '+company-init-backends-h)
  (setq-local company-backends nil))
(add-hook! org-mode (zz/adjust-org-company-backends))

However, I still see that there are bugs with org mode when inserting parenthesis (inserting ( in math inline mode does not give a closing parenthesis, deleting $ does not delete the closing $ etc.). Probably there are some clashes with smartparnes, but I don't know how to solve them...

Have you looked at Doom's configuration for cdlatex? Some parts are disabled due to conflict with other packages. It might provide some insight.

Thanks for the link, it seems very useful indeed. My elementary knowledge on lisp is not enough to fully understand everything. However, I do not understand why cdlatex works well with latex mode, but not with org mode. Doesn't the linked configuration apply to both latex and org modes?

I usually use $ ... $ to write inline math equations. How would one properly configure this to work well in org mode? (i.e. as it works in latex mode)

Yes, cdlatex-mode-map applies in both org and latex.

I don't know. I don't have all the answers. Learn ELisp!

In Doom Emacs: "K" for describing symbol at point, "g d" for goto definition, "SPC h f"/"SPC h v" for describing functions/variables

I still was not able to solve this issue, but it seems to me that for some reason cdlatex-pbb does not work well (or does not get called) in org-cdlatex-mode, while in cdlatex-mode it works great.

If someone has some tips on how to solve this, I'd appreciate it!
