Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Aux completion

[N L. F. <per...@ce...>]

Please do not remove the current functionality.  I think it would be very  
annoying to rely on the aux file being up-to-date.

Well-chosen keys are much easier to remember than numbers, and they do not  
change when you expand the document.
