[Vim-latex-devel] How to call IMAP_JumpForward from a function?

[Jorge R. <sk...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have the imap
imap <silent> <NL> <Plug>IMAP_JumpForward
in after/ftplugin/tex.vim

but when not using latex, I use that key for ultisnips plugin
inoremap <silent> <NL> <c-r>=UltiSnips_ExpandSnippetOrJump()<CR>

I would like to do the following have a mapping that in latex would do
the following:
when I hit <c-j> it would just be like calling
imap <silent> <NL> <Plug>IMAP_JumpForward
but if the cursor doesn't move then call the function for ultisnips.

My initial problem is that I don't know how to call IMAP_JumpForward
from a function.
I have the following right now:

function! SelectImapOrUlti()
  let save_cursor = getpos(".")
  execute "normal \<Plug>IMAP_JumpForward"
  return ''
endfunction
imap <c-l> <c-r>=SelectImapOrUlti()<cr>

If I use the original mapping in text with the placeholders say
<+tag+> then the word tag and the placeholders
are selected visually and I can just delete them by hitting backspace.
If I use the mapping the mapping associated with the function I
defined the cursor just goes to the closing placeholder, but nothing
is selected.

Is there a way of achieving this?

Thanks!
