[Vim-latex-devel] \lv and opening problems in Mac OS

[Hwasung M. L. <hwa...@ho...>]

Hello,

With the help of some people, I managed to solve the problem I was having on Linux machines. Now, I want to ask some questions when using Mac OS.

1. When opening a file
When opening a file in Mac OS, I have to press enter after vim tells me what file it is opening. After I press enter, it finally shows the contents to me. This doesn't happen when I am using Linux, what's going wrong? I am using vim 7.1.

2. \lv
When using \lv, instead of opening the file it gives a bunch of errors. On the vim-latex documentation, it says that the system should open it automatically (I didn't customize it yet). Why isn't this working? I am using Mac OS X Tiger.

Thanks in advance,
Mars

This is a problem with the traditional gvim. There are several 
workarounds, but they don't work 100% of the time.

Try MacVim instead:

See:

Make the modifications described there, and I think you'll be on your way.

NOTE: Those modifications assume that you're using Skim, PDFView, or 
TeXniscope as your viewer.

It *could* be changed to support Preview or Adobe too, but I don't quite 
see the point (especially with Preview).

If you're doing LaTeX work on OSX, you should be using a viewer like 
those. All of them support auto-reloading of PDFs, so your PDF will 
automatically refresh at every change. In Preview, it's difficult to 
even *FORCE* a refresh.
