[Vim-latex-devel] Windows Problems

[David A. <ad...@tc...>]

Hi all,

I've encountered a few problems getting vim-latex to run on windows.

1) Forward src-specials don't work. This is because the equality in
compiler.tex on line 346 (latest snapshot release) is 'yap' while the
default setting for 'Tex_ViewRule_Dvi' is 'yap -1' so obviously these will
never equate changing the equality on line 346 works (viewer ==? 'yap- 1')
changing Tex_ViewRule_Dvi to 'yap' also works but it means that multiple
instances open everytime '\ls' is used which is no good.

2) The quickfix window doesn't work at all. I've spent a bit of time on
this and I narrowed down the problem. In windows the default qf behaviour
is 'broken'. Therefore typing ':normal! \<escape>'  when in the qf window
doesn't work the cursor just stays where it is.

This is because the 'bufnr' in each item of the quickfix window (see
getqflist()) is set to zero. It doesn't know what buffer the error points
to.
I've hacked around this by replacing the ':normal! \<escape>' call to
'wincmd k' and it works but I'd be interested if anyone has a solution.
