[Vim-latex-devel] More about F9 completion in multi-directory situation

[Ng Oon-Ee <ng...@gm...>]

In a previous thread I mentioned that using main.latexmain breaks <F9>
completion, where main.tex.latexmain fixes it.

Having used this more in actual writing, I've come across buggy
behaviour while editing subfiles (chap1/chap1.tex for example), where
F9 would give an empty list.

Here's the sequence of events:-

1. Edit chap1/chap1.tex, try F9, doesn't work
2. Edit main.tex, try F9, works
3. Edit chap1/chap1.tex again, try F9, works
4. Try F9 again some time later in chap1/chap1.tex, does not work anymore.

It seems editing main.tex 'caches' the result somehow. If I place
chap1 in the same directory as main.tex there's no problem, but that
simply adds to the clutter (I'm doing a PhD thesis, this thing is
going to grow VERY big esp with all the picture subfolders etc)

Does anyone else on this list have the same workflow as I do
(multi-directory using .tex.latexmain AND uses F9 completion). Ted is
obviously an expert but he doesn't use the feature =).
