ViTeX

An unholy conglomeration of vim, evince, and friends for writing LaTeX

This is what it looks like!

Goal

Do you prefer to use vim to edit your LaTeX files, but wish there was better integration between the editor and your pdf viewer? Well this is the project for you! The goal of ViTeX is to bring together high quality tools in a convenient package to make editing LaTeX as painless(tm) as possible.

Status

Development and testing happen on arch linux with the Gnome desktop environment. Most likely will work on any linux (and possibly OSX) with the right packages installed. Not optimistic about windows.

Features!

  • Real neovim via Vte
  • Custom init.vim for editing LaTeX (of course feel free to personalize)
  • Embedded PDF view using Evince with auto reload
  • Synctex support
  • That's pretty much it!

Requirements

This is likely a non-exhaustive list, so please feel free to create an issue if you found you needed something else.

  • Python 3
  • Gtk+
  • Evince
  • neovim

Controls

  • ctrl -: Decrease editor font size
  • ctrl +: Increase editor font size
  • ctrl b: Start async build with latexmk
  • ctrl right: move divider to right
  • ctrl left: move divider to left
  • ctrl up: move divider to center

Setup

  • Through Git
git clone git@github.com:cfangmeier/vitex.git
cd vitex
python setup.py install --user
  • Via pip
pip install vitex --user
