[Vim-latex-devel] texviewer and Win

[Mikolaj M. <mi...@wp...>]

Hello,

Yesterday I commited texviewer.vim file. It works as charm under Linux
but on Windows it doesn't work at all. I have grep (from cygwin) but it
looks like grep output was not intercepted.
Can someone help me?

Hey Mikolaj,

This is very cool! It works out of the box for me :) (with a few small
hitches which are "ignorable"). I wonder if you have some settings
different.

For me:

shell=cmd.exe
shellquote=
shellxquote=
grepprg=fgrep\ -n\ $*

(I put fgrep in my windows path)

If you want to use shell=bash, remember to also set
:set shellxquote='

otherwise fgrep is called as

bash -c "fgrep -n \\label{"

etc... Those double quotes make my shell prompt just hang...


A couple of suggestions:

1. In the cwindow, the first item always seems to be highlighted in
   addition to the line on which the cursor is.

2. Could you make the preview window show the label line in the center
   of the preview window instead of at the top. Also make the preview
   window larger. If possible make it customizable with some setting :)

3. Make the <F9> key customizable using the same technique in imaps.vim

4. Put this as a menu item in "Tex-Suite->Complete Ref/Cite"

Another thing is that as of now, citations are only searched for in .bib
files. Often times, for small papers, I prefer the .bbl file which
contains things like

-----------------------------------%<-----------------------------------
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
	\bibitem{shimoyama:93}
		I.~Shimoyama, H.~Miura, K.~Suzuki, and Y.~Ezura, ``Insect-like microrobots
		with external skeletons,'' {\em IEEE Control Sys. Magazine}, 13:37--41,
		February 1993.
\end{thebibliography}
-----------------------------------%<-----------------------------------

Can support for this be built as well? Sometimes, the .bbl file is not
used and the above can be directly inserted into the .tex file....

'grep -n' doesn't give info about file name if only one file match.
I have add info about this in latex-suite.txt. I have grep from cygwin.
Where are coming from your fgrep? If this is standalone app maybe this
should be Official lS Grep Utility with link from download page and
special settings in texrc?

Highlighting of first line indicates current error number in quickfix
engine. Viewer use cwindow but not :cnext and :cprev. First of all - I don't
know how to get rid of this highlighting. Second - I am not sure if this
is really necessary. In this way you can always use quickfix methods.
IMO info about this in docs is enough (done).

Done.

How customizable? As I wrote before I don't like here IMAPS mechanism.

Done.

Done.
Strange thing. Vim (or grep) doesn't want look for "\\bibitem{", accepts
only "bibitem{". I hope it is robust enough.

I think you are misunderstanding me... I mean that the <F9> key should
be customizable... For example, in imaps.vim, we first provide a map
called <Plug>IMAP_JumpForward and then map <C-j> to it if the user has
not already mapped some other key to <Plug>IMAP_JumpForward. This allows
people to use other keys according to their convinience. (I personally
use <C-Space> for imaps and have <C-j> mapped to <down> in insert mode).
This mechanism also allows a console user to use this functionality. As
of now, neither <F9> nor the menu mapping is available to a true console
user. This way at least we provide a way for him to construct something
for himself.

Ah, I have already done that. The only thing I need to move mapping to
<Plug> to some central place. main.vim?

No! Let the mappings remain in texviewer.vim... Since its in the
ftplugin/tex directory, they'll get executed every time anyway...

No need to clutter up main.vim with things its not meant for.
