[Vim-latex-devel] save and compile together

[Rudra B. <bnr...@ya...>]

Hello Friends,
I am a new face with vim-latex, realizing a bit too late that its better
to customize vim for the file  types I am working rather then having a
bunch of IDE's for each  language.
Anyway, I am looking for one solution:  compile a file is two step
process: <:+w>(vim) and \ll(vim-latex).
Is it possible from userside to combine this to command together, i.e.,
some keyword mapping that will do the save and compile together?
 Or am I asking a magic?

When you run the compilation with \ll, the file is automatically saved, so
you can skip the "pure vim" part. At least, that is how it works here.

This whole behavior is governed by autowrite:

:help autowrite

which comes from Vim, not Vim-LaTeX. \ll eventually calls a ":make",
which is where autowrite's jurisdiction comes in.

So think of \ll as a specialized frontend to :make.
