wrong completion \\[2cm]

[jonasstein]

when typing
test\\[
Texstudio completes to test\\[\], which is wrong. Is there a way to disable this?

[timhoffm]

I don't think there is. Parentheses are defined via the qnfa file. As far as I understand them, it's not possible to distinguish \[ from \\[.

[jonasstein]

can I disable \[ completion at least? I grep 'ed some files but did not find anything useful.

You can disable completion for all parentheses at Options -> Advanced Editor -> Special Options -> Auto Complete Parentheses.

If you want to keep completion for other parentheses, you would have to not-define \[ as a parentheses by modifying the language definiton.

Warning: Be sure you understand the implications:

1. Defining your own language definition overrides the built-in TeX language definition. You will only see your version. You are decoupled from any changes we might make to the built-in definition in future releases.

2. We expose the language specification to you as end-user to give you more flexibility in adapting TeXstudio to your needs. But you should take it as is, because we don't have the capacity to give support here.

If you still want to do this:

1. Get a copy of tex.qnfa from the repo.
2. Create a folder languages in your settings directory and place the file therein.
3. Edit your version of tex.qnfa. Basically delete

	<sequence parenthesis="square:open" parenthesisWeight="00" fold="true">\[</sequence>
	<sequence parenthesis="square:close" parenthesisWeight="00" fold="true">\]</sequence>

4. Restart TeXstudio.
