Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Template names missing: OS X

[Gerd W. <ger...@ma...>]

Hi Daryl,

this is weird. In fact, `:help creating-menus` states:
 >>>>>>>>>
Special characters in a menu name:

<Tab>	Separates the menu name from right-aligned text.  This can be
	used to show the equivalent typed command.  The text "<Tab>"
	can be used here for convenience.  If you are using a real
	tab, don't forget to put a backslash before it!
 >>>>>>>>>

Hence, a "<Tab>" is perfectly fine here. Do you have right-aligned text 
in the other menus, e.g. right of "Compile", you should find "ll"??


Best regards
Gerd
