Emacs "suddenly" stopped automatically inserting the correct quotes once I hit the " key. It seems to me that this is due to a duplicate installation of some package, but I can't put my finger on it.

There are some commands that seem to duplicates, so far I stumbled over the following:

latex-mode
LaTeX-mode
tex-insert-quote
TeX-insert-quote (")
tex-insert-braces
TeX-insert-braces (C-C {)

Sadly, even though helm tells me that TeX-insert-quote is bound to ", it does not seem to trigger. And even if I call it manually, it simply inserts " into my text instead of ``correct'' quotes.

Can anybody point me out where to start diagnosing this behaviour?

Edit: After running C-h k " emacs tells me that it's indeed bound to TeX-insert-quote. So the trouble is not the binding, but something else.

Turns out that the behaviour of TeX-insert-quote has changed from what I was used to. If I simply hit " twice the correct quotation characters are inserted. It used to insert "` or "' immediately, but now does so after the second stroke.

  • Do you load babel package with a particular language option? The behavior depends on it, nothing changed in the last years. – giordano Aug 15 '16 at 16:33
  • Wow, that might be the root cause: This indeed only happens with german documents. And the more I think about it ... Around the time I asked the question I got around writing german documents in LaTeX for more or less the first time. – Marcus Riemer Aug 19 '16 at 18:39
