about using latex-suite

  1. Setup latex-suite:
    You have to install Perl and Python in order to use the latex-suite smoothly. Make sure install at least ActivePython 2.5.1.1

  2. To use Alt Key Macros Put:
    set winaltkeys=no
    in $VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim in order to use these maps.

  3. Insert ref and citation:
    type F9 after \ref{ or \cite{, then you can select fig, eq, sec or citation as you want!

  4. Folding operations

  5. Forward and backward searching

  6. Jump to next place holder: Ctrl-j
    After having typed in some characters, you can press Ctrl-j (while still in insert-mode). This will take you directly to the next "place-holder", e.g., <+caption text+> will be visually selected with Vim in select mode again for typing in the caption. This saves on a lot of key presses.
