Feature List
This list is not exhaustive!Compilation Features:
* background TEX/LATEX processing with status
info (current page number processed by LATEX in status
line - what I call progress
bar) (see a video)
* interface for latexmk
* forward/reverse searching for: xpdf
(ver. ≥3.03), okular,
xdvi (xpdf,skim,okular,xdvi→vim)
* forward searching (vim→xpdf,skim,okular,
xdvi)
:SyncTex* go to named
destination: using
hyperref package you can put named
destinations into pdf file, you can go to them with one
command from vim (Xpdf only)* Making LATEX projects with just one command
:MakeLatex
/ bibliography, index, table of
contents, lists of: figures, tables, theorems [with
ntheorem package], algorithms /* Making parts of projects using subfiles
package (compilation in background and forward/reverse
searching are supported)
* various debug
modes: silent/debug/Debug/verbose.
/ automatically close QuickFix
window (
:copen) if there are
no errors in it /* show errors, warnings, citation/reference warnings, font warnings, files used ...
/ error file is automatically read after compilation /
* open log, in log file you can sync the tex source
with the log file (then errors in the source file
will be highlighted!) or the xpdf viewer with the
log file. There are also maps to go to
next/previous error/warning/info/... message. And there is
syntax file for tex log files.
Editing Features:
* indentation
*
gw which runs vim gw command over inner papragraph,
* changing environment names
/ and changes the label if you use the labeling system; this needs activation /
* changing the star (add remove a star from an environment)
*
:Dictinoary an interface to English
Usage Dictionary by J.Trzeciak.Completions:
* completion
for commands (also user defined in associate
files), environments, citations, references,
tikz commands, keywords, provided
abbreviations, and much more/ there are two completion modes: when you know what you want with
and when you search for a command with Shift+Tab /
Some completion
features: /see
here/
+ programeble completion for
package names, package options (and their values), class names, and
class options
+ programable completion for
LATEX commands and their values
+ math commands are completed only in math mode
+
tikz
commands/keywords are completed only in
tikz environments+ completion is connected to closing last environment/bracket functions so that you have all under one key by default
+ completion for
\usefont{}{}{}{},
\fonttype{}, .... commands/ finds completions in font definition files /
+ completion for
\cite{ supports regular expression which are
passed to the searching tool in bibliography files* closing brackets and environments / preserves nested environments in 100% /
/ which is included into completion with key /
* many useful maps
/ some of them are configurable (on the
fly): for example you can change if * is added to
environments which are put by imaps. /
* abbreviations for
environments (with tab completion)
Moving Tools:
* table
of contents (see a video)
/ which allows moving through files,
chapters, sections, opening a preview window, but also yanking
(coping), pasting section-wise /
* tag file: with
:LatexTags
(or just :Tags)
ATP will make a very nice tag file to be used with tag feature of
vim*
:GotoLabel command,
besides the label name you can pass the label number which appears in the output.*
:GotoNamedDest - jump to named destination in Xpdf (named
destinations are inserted with \hypertarget commands).* moving commands to next
environment and next
section (or previous)
/ configured with vim normal commands:
n and N for repeating // also to next [in line/displayed] math environment /
/ support of project files /
* % operates on $:$,
\(:\) and \[:\] (in plain tex also on
$$:$$), brackets and \begin:\end pairs, which also
gets highlighted* LATEX/TEX oriented normal
gf command/
gf = go to file under
cursor, if there is no file under the cursor gives
a list of input files /+ with nice indentation for the list of files to chose
+ with
g:atp_developer=1 you can easily open package (.sty) and class (.cls) filesSearching Tools:
* reverse/inverse searching
* tags
- python script to make a tag file.
* search for definitions (
\def ) declared in
input files (:Dsearch)/ like [D command but works with
multiple line definitions /
* extended search in bib files
* white space mapped to
\_s\+ in searching command lines / and ?:/ this is a handy way to
search in text which is broken into lines, can
be turned off/on with F2 key/
Support for Projects:
* project
script which restores project specific
variables ( for example:
b:atp_MainFile,
b:ListOfFiles - the list of files included in the project, ...)/ The project script name is
.project.vim /
/ It is possible to store
many projects in one directory! /
/ There is no need to make
a project file to mark the project
directory/
* Completion/Viewing of parts of the project using the subfiles
package. Also inverse/reverse searching is supported.
*
:GotoFile
function (replace vim gf map), which list all the input files for
the main project file and let you go to one of them (it also sets
the main file variable for the new buffer to correct value
automatically).*
:S
- a command to search in project files (like it would
be just one long file)+ supports flags: bceswW of vim
search() function and the vim 'wrapscan'
option.
*
:Labels command (which list all defined labels) support project files.
