2 years ago Hi,
this is an interesting idea, I like it.
One problem is though, that `{' is already doing overbrace.
' ( and ' [ are still free and I could implement it, but do you have a suggestion what to use for the braces?

Edit: The variable cdlatex-paired-parens makes sure, that the brackets in the string get automatically inserted as pairs: When one types ( the corresponding ) get's inserted. It would be good, if - as in the "electric-pair-mode" of plain Emacs - also, when marking text, the corresponding brackets get inserted around that text, such that, when marking "text" and pressing "[" then "[text]" would be the result.
