.minimal-tex-vimrc snippets

[RichardScharf]

Hi, thanks for sharing your amazing setup on your blog!

I've managed to set up the shortcut manager with gnome in the .config using your help:

'gnome-terminal',
'--wait',
'--geometry', '60x5',
'--', "vim",
f"{filename}",
"-u", "~/.vim/minimal-tex-vimrc",
])

if I skip the -u flag vim opens normally and everything works perfectly.

But using the -u flag results in vim opening with the cursor between the $$ correctly, but as soon as I type wq it literally pastes < Esc >:wq< CR >" as text.

Snippets like sum stop working entirely, even after adding
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

with ultisnips and snippets to the minimal-tex-vimrc.

I got the same problem using urxvt and your example .config file.

I'm using a VM running on Hyper-V with enchanced Session mode and can use checkpoints to try stuff out.

So don't hesitate to recommend the "risky" stuff too :D

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same issues now.

Same issue as well.

I struggled myself back when I was configuring all these stuff. I dont really remember what helped me, but I guess "set nocompatible" does the trick. Anyway, I am posting here my .minimal-tex-vimrc:

set nocompatible
set ft=tex

set rtp+=~/current_course

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'lervag/vimtex', { 'frozen': 1 }
Plug 'sirver/ultisnips', { 'frozen': 1 }
Plug 'KeitaNakamura/tex-conceal.vim', { 'frozen': 1 }
call plug#end()

let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger = ''
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger = ''
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger = ''
let g:UltiSnipsUsePythonVersion = 3
let g:tex_flavor = 'latex'

let g:vimtex_syntax_enabled = 1
let g:vimtex_syntax_minted = 1

"set conceallevel=1
"let g:tex_conceal='abdmg'

set backspace=indent,eol,start

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.tex set filetype=tex

" Quickly closing the window by jamming wq
inoremap wq :wq
nnoremap wq :wq
inoremap qw :wq
nnoremap qw :wq

"Quickly getting back on track when I mess something up
inoremap u
vnoremap Iu
nnoremap ui

" Start insert mode between $$'s
autocmd BufEnter * startinsert | call cursor(1, 2)

nnoremap j gj
nnoremap k gk

I hope that helps.
