[Vim-latex-devel] Alt+somekey mappings

[Mpiktas <mp...@de...>]

Hi,

I use latex-suite time from time, mostly when I need to write some report=
:) I=20
think it is great tool, and it makes life with tex/latex much more easier=
.=20
However I stumbled into some problems.=20
Namely I want to use shortcuts A-m and A-l. I tried to use call IMAP, yet=
 it=20
is overriden with menu shortcuts. A-m opens TeX-Math menu, A-l opens TeX-
elements menu. Is there a way to elude these shortcuts and use mine inste=
ad?=20
Another question would be where to find all default latex-suite shortcuts=
? In=20
texrc is a link to texmaps.vim, but there is no such file in latex-suite.=
 I'm=20
especialy interested in mappings like A-q which produces special letters =
not=20
found in default iso8859-1 encoding.

Another little problem is that latex-suite highlights all { in text if I =
use=20
some special latex-suite shortcut like EEQ for example. This behaviour al=
ways=20
appears with newly opened .tex files (when there are no other instances o=
f=20
gvim).

I would be very grateful for any explanations

Hi,


As always I forgot to write about what OS I'm using:) So I'm using Debian=
 Gnu/
Linux up to date Sid. Or Gnome 2.2 with Sawfish 1.3 and vim 6.1-474+2.

Answering myself, yes there is. I edited file texmenuconf.vim and changed=
=20
E&lements into Elements, and edited menu.vim in ../vim61 and changed &Buf=
fers=20
into Buffers. So I can freely use mappings A-l and A-b, but I did not use=

them, because they are already used in brackets.vim in much more efficien=

than I wanted to use them:)

I found in brackets.vim that European users have problems with A- mapping=
s.=20
Yet my problem was to override the default shortcuts and imap surely does=
 that.

To this problem I found no cure. I think it is a bug. Should I file a bug=
=20
report or what?

Another way to have Alt not open up menus is
=09:set nowinaltkeys
However, that is much more aggressive in that you will never be able to
access menus via the keyboard. But do you need to?

I did not quite keep up with that discussion. If I remember correctly,
European users want <M-l> to insert =ED or something similar. But again,
some other European users find that there are some other ways to insert
=ED which are easier or something. Is that the case with you? Or do you
never need to insert =ED into your documents?

If possible, please write a little about what you do so if someone else
asks, I can sound a bit more intelligent :)

I am from Lithuania and Lithuanian alphabet differs from English that it =
has=20
letters =C4=85=C4=8D=C4=99=C4=97=C4=AF=C5=A1=C5=B3=C5=AB=C5=BE and doesn'=
t have letters xqwf. In the old days (5-6 years=20
ago :) there were problems with these letters, cause they weren't in defa=
ult=20
English (ISO-8859-1) keyboard layout and there were no way to produce the=
m=20
directly, so one way to elude this problem was to use special mappings to=
=20
produce these letters. Nowadays there is no need to use special mappings =
for=20
special letters. I can set my locale to lt_LT.utf-8 or lt_LT.iso8859-13,=20
configure a bit my X server and voila, I can type these special letters=20
directly, i.e. one letter with one key. So I do not need any special mapp=
ings,=20
instead I want to use them for something else. For example
I can use A-m to produce $<++>$<++> instead of =C4=A3, the letter which I=
 do not=20
use at all.
