Hi all,
I've just pushed a fix to master which makes
`TeX-arg-beamer-overlay-spec' behave more friendly in the style hook.
Now it respects the value of OPTIONAL argument and can be used as a
vector in the style hook which I also changed [1].

AUCTeX has an option called `TeX-insert-macro-default-style':
,[ C-h v TeX-insert-macro-default-style RET ]
| TeX-insert-macro-default-style is a variable defined in ‘tex.el’.
| Its value is ‘show-optional-args’
|
| Documentation:
| Specifies whether ‘TeX-insert-macro’ will ask for all optional arguments.
|
| If set to the symbol ‘show-optional-args’, ‘TeX-insert-macro’
| asks for optional arguments of TeX marcos, unless the previous
| optional argument has been rejected. If set to
| ‘show-all-optional-args’, ‘TeX-insert-macro’ asks for all
| optional arguments. If set to ‘mandatory-args-only’,
| ‘TeX-insert-macro’ asks only for mandatory argument.
|
| When ‘TeX-insert-macro’ is called with C-u, it’s the other
| way round.
|
| Note that for some macros, there are special mechanisms, see e.g.
| ‘LaTeX-includegraphics-options-alist’ and ‘TeX-arg-cite-note-p’.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`
It doesn't help if functions don't respect it, though.
Best, Arash

Re: [AUCTeX] Auctex prompting for optional arguments
A so refreshing to have this working now! Thanks so much for the
tip Mose. It took me a while to implement it since I am not too fluent
with the file system in AuCTeX and needed to figure out where to find the
file ("sudo find / -iname "beamer.el"). Fixing this was easier than I
expected, but I could not anticipate when I got your e-mail in what was a
pretty busy week.
If you (or anyone else in the list) happens to have time, I would
appreciate knowing how can one know in a more general fashion what controls
whether AUCTeX prompts for optional arguments or not.
Santiago.

BTW, AUCTeX by default prompts for an optional overlay specification
with the \structure command, but not with \alert (as noticed by
Santiago) which is however similar. And, from my experience, an overlay
specification is much more often used with \alert than with \structure.
All the best.

You have to manually patch the file style/beamer.el in your AUCTeX
installation. Replace the line
'("alert" 1)
with
'("alert" TeX-arg-beamer-overlay-spec 1)
Remember to byte-recompile the file with M-x byte-recompile-file RET RET.
Bye,

[AUCTeX] Auctex prompting for optional arguments
I've been trying to find information about this in the manual and online, but have not had any luck so far. My general question: is there a way to get AUCTeX to always prompt me for an optional argument of a specific command when I invoke it with TeX-insert-macro (i.e. C-c )? (like it does when you invoke, for instance, \newcommand) My specific question: is there a way to get Auctex to prompt me automatically for an optional overlay specification when I invoke the \alert command with TeX-insert-macro (i.e. C-c "alert")? Any help would be much appreciated. Santiago. ___ auctex mailing list auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
