You could define a function doing that and assign it to a key binding of
your liking.

This comes from Lisp editing.

Not sure where this comes from.

This is an AUCTeX function.

For simple pairs, i.e. those started with a single character, you can
use `skeleton-pair-insert-maybe', see (info "(autotype)Inserting Pairs").

For something like \[ \] one would probably need something like manually
triggered completion by typing some key binding with point after the
opening \[.  I don't know if something like this already exists.
