Latex-Suite uses place-holders to minimize using the movement keys while typing. The following settings affect how place-holders are used.
These setting need to be set in your ~/.vimrc, not
$VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim because these settings affect
the behavior of imaps.vim, which is a global plugin,
not a file-type plugin.
| Type | Boolean |
| Default Value | 1 |
Setting this to zero completely disables using place-holders.
| Setting | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
Imap_PlaceHolderStart | String | '<+' |
Imap_PlaceHolderEnd | String | '+>' |
These settings affect the strings displayed at the beginning and end of the place-holder string. Set these strings to a value different than a commonly occurring sequence of characters.
If you use the latin1 encoding and do not type in
french, then you can set these strings to the \xab
and \xbb characters (the french quotation marks).
| Type | Boolean |
| Default Value | 1 |
When set to one, non-descriptive or empty place-holders are deleted on
pressing <Ctrl-J>.
| Type | Boolean |
| Default Value | 1 |
When set to 1, in visual mode, <Ctrl-J> takes
you to the next placeholder without deleting the current placeholder.
