" - force: set on PlugInstall! or PlugUpdate! " - status: 'installed', 'updated', or 'unchanged' You may add them to vim by first installing vim-plug and then adding the following lines to your. Some other good plugins for speeding things up are the following: (abbreviations are the heart of what makes things so fast in the GIF above) Other Plugins vimrc, the file which keeps your configuration for vim: autocmd FileType tex iabbrev wrt with respect to You can define an abbreviation by adding the following line to your. For instance, when I type "lrs " in the above GIF, vim replaces it for "locally ringed space ". These are instructions for vim to replace a string by another word as you type it. If I recall correctly, vimtex is more actively developed and has more features. Two very good ones are vimtex and LaTeX-suite. A nice guide on how to use vim is this interactive site. While I think this reputation is partly unwarranted, in any case the time you invest learning how to use it might very well turn out to be one of the best time investments of your life, as Fosco said in the comments (it certainly was so for me). Vim is quite infamous for being difficult to learn. (If anything is unclear or missing, feel free to either edit this answer or let me know and I'll add/correct it.) Vim (There are also other features not shown in the above GIF, such as being able to write vertically/in columns, using multiple cursors to replace text, etc.)Įdit: Here's a small guide on how to get a setup like the one above sorry for not including this here before. Since you can configure macros, abbreviations, plugins, and whatnot, it makes writing very very fast: The most helpful trick for me when it comes to writing stuff in LaTeX is using vim. I am much more likely to try out a conjecture if it is easy to run the code. Also, it is sometimes worth to spend time optimizing code - waiting for code to run does not seem like a big deal, but I have noticed that small improvements in my work-flow can have big impact. Take the time to move code snippets from project-specific notebooks, and turn into software packages for easy reuse. Hunting down (your own!) published papers in pay-walled journals can be surprisingly tedious! Get final versions of your published papers, and store in a folder, as you'll need them for job applications. These are available when the wifi is down, or while traveling.ĭo file reorganization and cleanup regularly. Then it is easy to quickly search for the correct book. Get electronic (local) copies of standard references, and make sure to name them in a sane manner. This is useful for converting hard-coded syntax into macros. Learn Regular expressions, for search-and-replace in. Keeping track of versions has saved me several times.
bib entry (some light editing might be needed).įor collaboration, use git. I prefer to use doi2bib to convert doi's to a. I find this trick extremely useful, as it does not lead to duplicate code spread over several files. tex-file, making it easy to reuse macros. pdf pages as figures in the main document.
Solution: Use one standalone file, where each figure appears as a separate. However, spreading out all figures in many documents is also inconvenient.
In documents with many Tikz figures, compilation time can become quite brutal. Another example is to make a macro that includes the $q$ when typing q-binomial coefficients. This is particularly useful for when making many similar-looking figures. Use LaTeX macros and definitions for easy reuse. Some tricks are LaTeX-specific, but other tricks are more general. I have over the years learned some tricks which saves a lot of time,Īnd I wish I had known them earlier.
