Hello, when ‘TeX-quote-after-quote’ is nil, ‘TeX-insert-quote’ fails when called from a position closer to the beginning of buffer than the length of an opening quotation mark. That’s due to a ‘forward-char’ trying to go back to see if the thing preceding the point is an opening quote. To reproduce the bug, open a buffer in ‘LaTeX-mode’, type a character and invoke ‘TeX-insert-quote’. It just prints the message “Beginning of buffer” without inserting anything. I think it’s reasonable to insert an opening quote whenever there isn’t room for one behind the point. I’ve attached a patch that implements this behaviour. All the best, Andrea
