Julia latex tab-complete not working in julia-mode

[john-waczak]

Description

Julia latex substitution is not working in julia-mode. Usually when working on julia code I can substitute typical latex symbols by typing the latex equivalent and then hitting tab. This behavior does work in a julia-repl mode but I can not seem to make it work in the standard julia-mode.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Start Emacs
• Open a julia file (ending in .jl) in julia-mode
• Type a known latex symbol, e.g. \psi, and then hit TAB

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔

• Nothing happens

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄

• \psi should be replaced with ψ

Hi @john-waczak, please take a look at JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs#193

This behaviour was removed, but it might be merged back.
You still can activate abbrev-mode and after hitting space it will automatically substitute the symbol for you.

It does not look like spacemacs issue then.
