Hello,

I was wondering what is the purpose of binding { to (literal) {} in math
mode. In text mode, we have the following bindings

{ -> \{
} -> \}

which seem natural to math mode too. Is this a bug or a feature that I
don't understand? I seems to me that literal {} are useful only within
ERT.

In ERT, I want to complain about the functions break-paragraph and
break-line. We usually have the following binding:

Return -> break-paragraph

which is natural for text mode. I like to think about ERT as a verbatim
latex mode, so a simple Return should insert a line break. Now, if I want
a line break, I must pres C-Return (with my bindings), which is not
intuitive, since

1) while typing latex in other editors I just press enter to introduce a
line break (and two enters to introduce a paragraph break;

2) inserting a line break puts a special symbol at the end of the line:

      |
   <- -

which is meaningless in ERT.

So, in my opinion, the function break-paragraph and break-line should
produce, in ERT, a newline with no special symbol ate the end of the
line.


Thank you,

Joao Luis.
