how to trigger auto completion in math mode? #105

I have no idea how to do it....it seems that none of the snippets work in the math mode.

Depends on what you mean by don't work... Snippets do work in the sense that entering a prefix + tab seems to fill in a snippet, but the autocomplete menu doesn't appear. This is discussed here. The underlying issue appears to be related to the scope being set to "string.other.math..." by language-latex. Basically, another set of problems caused by the legacy of TextMate's LaTeX syntax.

Hi @randy3k and @ig0774, I am a collaborator of language-latex package and just happened to find this issue. As is already mentioned in this thread, snippet expansion does work while snippet autocompletion doesn't in math mode. This problem should be fixed by area/language-latex#137 and some details are explained in the PR.

The PR is a part of the next major update, so it will take a while to be released. That being said, you can test the topic branch already and I would appreciate it you could give us some feedback!
