Should work:

(global-set-key (kbd "[") #'insert-pair)

If you're got time, please briefly explain how it works, what it does, etc.

Thanks!

If i remember OP wanted completion on \[ with \] with the "\" included
thats why there is \ in insert.
This version complete the "[" with "]" and put point between the [].

,----[ insert pair of [] ]
| (defun insert-second-hook ()
|   (interactive)
|   (insert "[]")
|   (goto-char (- (point) 1)))
| (global-set-key (kbd "\[") 'insert-second-hook)
`----

when you press key [ it insert the two [] and then go back one char.
Note that is a very simple code and can be much better, look at
pair-mode.el.
Note also you can set key [ locally for a special mode with
`define-key' instead of setting it globally with `global-set-key'.

Personnaly i don't like completion on pairs so i don't use that :)

I find this kind of behavior irritating when editing existing code.
Have you looked at expand package? Seems to do it only when there is nothing
else on the line following point.
