Vim & LaTeX on a mac
February 26th, 2008
Since I’ve moved to mac not so long ago, I was happy that most of the apps I normally use are ported to os x.
As I’ve been writing a lot of mathematical stuff in LaTeX it soon got quite annoying constantly recompiling, closing previous Preview.app instance and opening it again so that the pdf file gets properly reloaded(on Windows dvi viewer reloaded automatically). Seems like this wasn’t only my problem as there turned out to be a pdf/dvi viewer out there with automatic reloading - Skim.
I’ve also learned about pdfsync which is quite neatly handled in Skim - just Shift-Command-Click and it opens Vim at the corresponding line in tex file, nice…
While at it, I’ve switched to MacVim because of better integration with pdfsync, along with nicer aqua interface, tab support etc…




Good Day, I am glad I pressed harder enough until I found alphaville mp3, because this post on nnial 2007 - salvatore iaconesi - del.icio.us poetry was extremely helpful. Just last Monday I was pondering on this quite a bit.
