Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Old tutorials + <alt> problems on Windows

Yes, this should be preferable. The current version of latex-suite no 
longer supports the obsolete 'eqnarray'. If you try 'align<F5>', you 
should get a reasonable expansion.

This is covered in the manual, see section 3.10:

http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/altkey-mappings.html

Something like

set winaltkeys=no

should help.

1. Possibility: You can delete the placeholder before jumping.
2. Possibility: You set g:Imap_StickyPlaceHolders to 0. This 
automatically deletes the placeholders if you jump away, see
