Latex-Suite ships with a very comprehensive set of insert mode and
|visual-mode| mappings and menu items to typeset most of the LaTeX
elements.
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
These mappings are are not standard mappings in the sense that
only the last character is mapped. See plugin/imaps.vim for
further documentation. For example, in the case of the mapping
<code class="literal">EFI</code> provided by Latex-Suite you can press the characters
'<code class="literal">E</code>', '<code class="literal">F</code>' and '<code class="literal">I</code>'
as slowly as you wish (unlike the normal <code class="literal">imap</code> command
where <code class="literal">timeout</code> issues are involved). The characters are
visible as you type them (unlike normal <code class="literal">imap</code>s) and you
can use the movement or backspace key to correct yourself unlike normal
mappings.
</p></div><a id="place-holder"></a><div class="note" title="Place Holders" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title"><a id="place-holders"></a>Place Holders</h3><p>
Almost all macros provided in Latex-Suite implement Stephen Riem's bracketing
system and Gergely Kontra's <code class="literal">JumpFunc()</code> for handling
place-holders. This consists of using "place-holders" to mark off
locations where the next relevant editing has to be done. As an example,
when you type <code class="literal">EFI</code> in |insert-mode|, you will get the
following:
</p><pre class="programlisting">\begin{figure}[h]
\centerline{\psfig{figure=<+eps file+>}}
\caption{<+caption text+>}
\label{fig:<+label+>}
\end{figure}<++></pre><p>
The text <code class="literal"><+eps file+></code> will be selected and
you will be left in |select-mode| so that you can continue typing
straight away. After having typed in the file name, you can press
<code class="literal"><Ctrl-J></code> (while still in insert-mode). This will
take you directly to the next "place-holder". i.e, <code class="literal"><+caption
text+></code> will be visually selected with Vim in select mode
again for typing in the caption. This saves on a lot of key presses.

If you wish to change these macros from their default values, for
example, if you wish to change <code class="literal">`w</code> to expand to
<code class="literal">\omega</code> instead of its default expansion to
<code class="literal">\wedge</code>, you should use the <code class="literal">IMAP</code>
function as described in the <a class="link" href="ls-new-macros.html" title="3.12 Making your own Macros via IMAP()">Using
IMAP()</a> section.
</p><p>
An important thing to note is that if you wish to over-ride macros
created by Latex-Suite rather than merely create new macros, you should place
the <code class="literal">IMAP()</code> calls in a script which gets sourced
after the files in Latex-Suite. A good place typically is as a file-type
plugin file in the
<code class="literal">~/.vim/after/ftplugin/</code> directory. (Use
<code class="literal">~/vimfiles</code> if you are using
<code class="literal">WINDOWS</code>). For example to over-ride
<code class="literal">`w</code> to <code class="literal">\omega</code> instead of
<code class="literal">\wedge</code>, place the following line in (say)
<code class="literal">~/.vim/after/ftplugin/tex_macros.vim</code>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">call IMAP('`w', '\omega', 'tex')</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
It is important to use a file-name which will get sourced on a
<code class="literal">FileType</code> event. Therefore you must use a file-name
which conforms to the standards as described in
<code class="literal">|ftplugin-name|</code>.
</p></div></div><div class="note" title="Pausing Macro expansion" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title"><a id="pausing-imaps"></a>Pausing Macro expansion</h3><p>
If you wish to temporarily suspend the imaps functionality, then you
can set the <code class="literal">Imap_FreezeImap</code> to 1. If you set
<code class="literal">g:Imap_FreezeImap</code> to 1, then it will be a
system-wide setting. Setting <code class="literal">b:Imap_FreezeImap</code> will
affect only the current buffer.
