It might be useful if you start with single dollar math mode and at the 
end of it you change your mind and prefer display mode. But as you can't 
do the other way round, start with display mode and then switch to 
single dollar, I think you are right it is not very useful.

Now, I've been trying completion of commands with AUCTeX and completion 
from the menu is OK, but my laptop keyboard M-TAB doesn't work. Could it 
be my keyboard fault? (It is French)

Thank you,
