windows support about vimtex

[lervag]

I think the only thing missing for Windows support are the functions that make external calls, that is, the latexmk-functions and the view-function. I think the structure would be something like what you suggest. I hope to get some spare time soon to implement this.

As for your other suggestion: The reason I decided not to define any commands is simply that I never used the commands, I only used the mappings. And it is trivial to define both mappings and commands when the functions are available. For example, you may put in your vimrc:

command LatexView :call latex#view()<cr>
cnoreabbrev H <c-r>=getcmdpos() == 1 && getcmdtype() == ":" ? "LatexView" : "Lv"<cr>

I might consider adding some common commands, but I am not convinced that it is necessary or more convenient than just defining the commands that one need oneself. If you want to continue this discussion, I propose that you open a separate issue where we can discuss this.

PS! At the current time, the view function does not allow arguments as you have implemented for LaTeX-Box.

Can you considering adding something similar to the code in this comment to this line in order to enable bib completion on windows?
Thanks!

@petobens I am not sure if that same fix is necessary here. I've managed the file names in a different and much more sensible way, even though it might not be correct for windows. Could you open a separate issue for this and explain what is wrong.

[lervag]

I've just opened a couple of new issues to separate the different issues discussed in this thread.

#18 - Make latexmk bindings work for windows
#19 - Make latex#view() work for windows
#20 - Make bib completion work on windows

As I have explained earlier, I do not have windows myself, so it is crucial that other people (@petobens @EPNGH ++) test my code, suggest changes, and report bugs. I am also happy if anyone wants to contribute with pull requests.

The creation of commands such as

command LatexView :call latex#view()<cr>

was best practice suggestion I copied from Tpope at http://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/267vrv/i_am_tim_pope_crafter_of_plugins_ama/chooack.

For example, fugitive defines Gstatus, Gblame.... How about Lview, Lclear!,... ? Then :L<Tab> would remind us of the possible vim-latex commands.
