  • Reactive HTML Notebooks
    2- For writing: you can use https://github.com/lervag/vimtex for LaTeX On top of these, you can use tmux with tmuxp to open projects instantly. You can replicate such environment with Emacs using org mode and/or auctex. No use for an added layer (web tech) for this, introducing more code to write and learn. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad
    I use vimwiki almost daily, but it's not professional use, just daily notes and organizing my life. I started using zim but I found I really missed writing/editing with vim. Then I found vimwiki. There are things I'm not super happy about with it. I saw that /u/lervag (love his vimtex plugin) released a wiki plugin and I was/am interested in it, but I have so much in my wiki right now that I don't want to deal... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Note Taking Applications, Beyond the Doc
    Definitely get vimtex and set it up so you can view the compiled document in one window, and your notes in the other. Get used to vim a bit with some vim tutorial (there are a bunch out there), and have latex shortcuts you use in all your documents. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • I like Tabasco.
    I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And... Source: about 2 years ago

    Some language-specific plugins like vimtex also include their own text objects. Source: about 2 years ago
  • [VimTeX] vim on mac lags when trying to use includegraphics[]{} for attaching image to a .tex file
    I am new to Vim and LaTeX, but I'm trying to learn both at the same time so I started using VimTeX to edit .tex files on MacVim. I got almost everything working now (vimtex itself, zathura, autocomplete, etc.), but one thing. And that is Vim won't respond for a while whenever I try to include an image using \includegraphics[]{} from \usepackage{graphicx}. By typing so, MacVim will request permission to access...

    Hi, I've been trying to configure vim-tex working on the NvChad configs. I got the :VimtexCompile working and giving me output pdf. But the usual ll is giving me these errors. Also in vim {{ would expand to \left{ \right}. It's not working with NeoVim. I'm using LuaSnip with friendly-snippets with the default config in NvChad. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Just started learning LaTeX. I have a few questions
    Emacs is a good software for LaTeX along with its plugin AUCTeX but you don't need to switch to Emacs since you already are a Vim user. I would recommend to install VimTex (make sure it is NOT VimLatex) using any package manager, e.g. VimPlug. Source: over 2 years ago
