vimtex

I don't get the argument for using web technologies to complicate this process. What does this added complexity solve? If anything, it slows the process and remove much needed features like auto-completions, snippets, and extensions. Also, it makes collaboration harder, since, most likely, others aren't familiar with your setup. You only need to setup one environment once and use it forever with minor incremental improvements as tech evolves. If you are a n/vim user, you can accomplish this by: 1- Data exploration: text -> jupyter notebook via https://github.com/untitled-ai/jupyter_ascending that uses jupytext. This way, you can efficiently edit and run code from your text editor. 2- Writing: you can use https://github.com/lervag/vimtex for LaTeX On top of these, you can use tmux with tmuxp to open projects instantly. You can have a seaml

Ok, got some responses from him (I don't know what any of these things mean haha): vimtex works perfectly on neovim (in fact, the main developer uses neovim) and is very well documented texlab (the latex lsp server) also does build and forward search (although there's a small bug at the moment) Oh, and backward search needs neovim-remote (\o/ mhinz); just use nvr --remote +"%line" "%file" as backward search command https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/5d1335d095d11f48a6744f... (the vimtex dev uses Zathura, so that may be an alternative viewer to look into)

Or if you're already using vim anyway, you can use a plugin like vimtex (https://github.com/lervag/vimtex) which automates the compiling after saving the file.
