Latex Completer for YouCompleteMe

vim-ycm-tex

What is this?

This is a Latex Completer for YouCompleteMe. It completes citations (\cite{}) and references to labels (\ref{}).

How do I use it?

• YCM completers need to be made available in your YCM directory. There's a subdirectory python/ycm/completers. This completer should be added there with the name tex.

• To enable automatic completion, you need to tell YCM about the triggers that should run the TeX completer. These triggers are LaTeX's \ref and \cite comannds. YCM provides the g:ycm_semantic_triggers option that allows adding new triggers. Therefore, add

  let g:ycm_semantic_triggers = {
  \  'tex'  : ['\ref{','\cite{'],
  \ }

  to your .vimrc to enable automatic semantic completion. (Found by Bart Z. Yueshen)

Are there limitations?

Of course:

• The completer uses hard-coded Linux shell commands and therefore won't work on Windows.

• The BIB completion only considers BIB files in the current working directory.

• BIB entries are assumed to start at the beginning of a line and have the format: \<type>{<name>, ... -- name will then be selected for completion.
