I know you decided to maintain a TeX-specific templates plugin, but I
think that the version of µTemplate I'm working on already proposes the
kind of completion mecanism you are looking for.

For instance, with it (see my sig for its address), try to type in
insert-mode (within a latex document):
    fig<c-r><tab>     (or <c-r><space> which is the same for TeX files)
or  ce<c-r><tab>
(the only two LaTeX-templates proposed for now: figure and center)

If there were two templates with similar names like for instance
`tabular' and `table', a confirm-box would popup on "tab<c-r><tab>" so
we can choose which template we want to expand.

BTW, why developping a feature concurrent to templates ? I'm thinking to
latexSuite's macros which looks like more restricted templates than the
ones we could have with a templates-expander.
What did I miss ?



The only thing missing to my version of µTemplate is a better support of
non-latin1 files -- I think I will incorporate something like the
"!comp!" you are using.

However, it is a very big plugin with many features; it may sometimes be
considered as (as we would say in French): "une enclume pour écraser
des mouches" (-> an anvil to crush flies) -- I don't remember the
idiomatic expression in English.
