(This is a work in progress)
I'm trying vim-latexsuite at the moment. It basically turns vim into an IDE for latex.
Learning curve:
- Very unintuitive, but after the tutorial, it seems OK.
- It redefines some keys I like, and I can't seem to fix them.
Autocomplete:
- Makes using some built-in macros simpler
- Adding <<+>> to for user macros is very annoying.
- Replacing " with `` and the like is nice until you want " for some reason, then its an exercise in frustration.
- Its autocomplete can be annoying too. I have to reprogram myself for working in latex.
Build system:
- Awful
- quickfix doesn't work - it often puts me in the wrong file
- When latex reports errors with the result split over 2 lines, it doesn't detect it.
