I know it's a bit of an odd request but it is one to which the solution would save me a lot of time.
I write a lot of documents in LaTex (especially maths - no surprise) and I prefer the look of
$\left(\right)$
parentheses on a lot of things because they actually encompass the things inside. For example:
$\deg\left(m_{\alpha_{1}/K}\right)$
looks better than
$\deg(m_{\alpha_{1}/K})$
in my opinion.
Unfortunately, writing \left and \right every time is a bit tiresome.
Is there any way that I can make them all do it automatically? There is a solution here: automatic size adjustment for nested parentheses but it interferes with tikz (presumably because it affects the parentheses).
I tried a solution like
$\newcommand{\(}{\left(}$
but LaTeX didn't like that.
\(
is already an existing, important LaTeX command for entering textstyle math mode, and should not be usurped.\left(\sum_i\right)
looks ridiculous, and used in inline math, they can easily grow so much that they interfere with line spacing.Alt + Shift + (
