[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #233 tab after \label{}• in TeX mode

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

We are speaking here about the situation where templates introduce empty labels. For instance, if you insert a template for the *align* environment (select *Maths Environments > align…* and, say,  choose 2 equations), here is what Alpha inserts in your document (the vertical bar here shows the location of the insertion cursor):
```
\begin{align}
	| & •
	\label{•}\\
	• & •
	\label{•}
\end{align}•
```
Now when you press the Tab key in order to fill the template, if you do not want a label it vanishes automatically. If you want one, just fill it out. This is very handy.

** [tickets:#233] tab after \label{}• in TeX mode**

In TeXmode, if after typing
\label{}•
I move the cursor back to put it between { and }
and then I use the key TAB, then \label{}• is removed.
If follow the same steps with say ref, i.e.
\ref{}• , back between { and } and  TAB, I jump to the next stop, i.e., I get
\ref{}
with the cursor after }

Actually this strange behavior seems to occur only with \label. I understand that a "label" should be entered between { and }. But I want to be free to do it rigth away or later.

Question: is there a way to disable this feature.

Note that, on purpose, I am not using the binding (and proc) which creates  \label{}• . In doing so, I want to argue that the problem is not with this proc, but seems to be in the proc elec::nextStopOrIndent given by Tab. But why is the behavior different between \label{}• and \ref{}•
