I was previously compiling my LaTeX in TeXShop, but I wanted to see what
vim had to offer me. I must admit I like what I've found. In working
around the primary hurdle (of Preview.app being lousy), I stubled accross
PDFView.app. However, I'm having trouble getting it working like it's
supposed to with LaTeX-Suite.
Though I believe I've entered the neccessary commands in (both) my .vimrc
and .gvimrc to use PDFView.app as my PDF viewer, when I type \lv
Preview.app opens to display the compiled PDF.
As a perhaps noteworthy symptom, after I've used \lv to view my PDF, it
has been opened in Preview, and I have closed it so that the next time I
use \lv I'll actually see the updated file, when I type \lv once the only
effect is to see ":call TeX_ViewLaTeX()" on the bottom line. A second
execution of \lv is required before Preview opens the PDF. The first time
after I've opened the file, only one use of \lv is needed to open
Preview.app and the PDF file. I'm not sure if this is related, though.
Anyhow, any help is much appriciated!
Thanks!
