[Vim-latex-devel] feature request: a$, i$ word objects

[Dan S. <da...@st...>]

It would be nice to allow selection of the text within dollar signs by 
typing vi$ (similarly, replacing this text with ci$, etc.).  This is the 
only feature I miss from LatexBox.

To see how LatexBox does it, search their code for "SelectInlineMath".  
I was able to steal this functionality by copying this and a few support 
functions into my after/ftplugin/tex.vim.

A less sophisticated way is explained in 
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Text_object_for_formulas_in_Latex

And thanks to all of the developers who make vim-latex a success!
