Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Wrap dollars around active region

[Florêncio Neves]

I am trying to say that whoever uses electric-pair-mode probably wants
electric dollar signs and this should work automatically
out-of-the-box, instead of requiring rebinding $ or setting one extra
AUCTeX option.

I now realize that when the region is active, electric-pair-mode wraps
the region with the corresponding delimiter.  Why not drop
TeX-insert-dollar altogether and let $ be bound to
self-insert-command?

Thanks,
F.
