Re: [Emacs-vr-mode-users] functions for latex/auxtex/reftex?

[Patrik J. <pa...@uc...>]

Hi Jeff,

First off, if you are going to be writing Latex, I would really
encourage you to check out NaturalLatex by David Fox
(http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~dcfox/dragon/natlatex.html). It's a perl
script that translates a text-like pseudo-latex to actual-latex. This
has the benefit that you avoid most cases of having to dictate
backslashes and unpronouncable commands. I used it for my phd thesis and
subsequent papers and I think it's great.

Regarding your actual question (;-), I'm not entirely sure what you are
trying to do. The commands possible in vr-mode are limited to simple
mappings of commands to lisp functions. It has no functionality for
turning commands on or off depending on the mode etc, so I only use
vr-mode for commands that are in some sense global, like navigation.
There is something called "emacs voice commander" which created dvc
files from all emacs commands and enables them depending on which mode
you're in. Maybe you can check that out?  I also remember there being
some issue with the command list, I suggest you try putting your
commands directly into vr.el and see if it works then.

Hope that helps, let me know if you're still having rpoblems.

oh, one final thing. if you are using 21.1, i believe there was badness
between it and vr mode. If you have problems, like timeout messages in
the vr-mode or something about a bad message length, try upgrading to 21.3.
