Re: [Vim-latex-devel] text clobbered in vim (but not gvim)

[Stephen W. <sw...@gm...>]

Hi Martin and Mirko,

Thank you both for your replies - glad to see I'm not alone with this
problem!

Martin, thanks for your suggestion which works for me. I've updated my
.vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim file with the following (I don't know how to
test for "if not" so I've put the statement in the "else" part):

if has("gui_running")
else
    :nnoremap <buffer> <Plug>Tex_Compile :call Tex_RunLaTeX()\|redraw!<cr>
endif

Martin, I saw your reply to the thread "output of xdvi shows in tex file" -
and thought maybe the same trick would apply. I get the same problem with
xdvi writing its output into my tex file, so I tried this:

:nnoremap <buffer> <Plug>Tex_Compile :call Tex_ViewLaTeX()\|redraw!<cr>
**
but it doesn't work, and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
Steve
