VimTeX is a modern filetype and syntax plugin for Vim and Neovim that provides comprehensive LaTeX editing support. It offers compilation via latexmk, completion, text objects, and PDF viewer integration with inverse search.
Use cases
- edit LaTeX documents in Vim or Neovim
- compile LaTeX from within the editor
- get syntax highlighting and completion for TeX files
- navigate LaTeX environments and math with text objects
- sync PDF viewing with source via inverse search
- manage multi-file LaTeX projects
When to choose
- you write LaTeX in Vim or Neovim and want an all-in-one editing environment
- you need integrated compilation, completion, and PDF sync
- you want a mature, well-documented LaTeX plugin
When to avoid
- you use another editor like VS Code or Emacs
- you only need occasional one-off TeX compilation without editor integration
- you are stuck on old Vim/Neovim versions incompatible with recent releases
