That sounds right.
So does this mean the scope should be text.latex, or source.tex, or both?
Both
[...] The weird thing now however is that if I type a dollar sign inside the double-quoted string, it does not do smart inserting of the corresponding closing dollar sign. Is this just a problem in my installation somehow?
Did it ever do this? The Source bundle alters smart-typing pairs for double quoted strings (to not have ' auto-paired) so the Miscellaneous should probably be:
source.tex, text.latex, string.quoted.double.(la)tex
That way it will override the general double-quoted string auto-pairs.
There was some weird matching of things of the form . where dot is anything taking place in the syntax for double-quoted strings, which I removed since I did not see what it was good for. It just messed with all commands. I just had the patterns include $base.
Likely this was just left over from copy’n’paste (most languages will need to match . as an escape sequence to allow: "this "is" a string")
Btw, perhaps the double-quoted strings should be moved to source.tex? After all, they are valid in TeX.
Okay, sounds like it should be moved then.
