The following mapping works: imap <C-L> <C-O>:call SelectImapOrUlti()<CR> I'm not 100% sure why <C-R>=SelectImapOrUlti()<CR> doesn't work, but I guess because it's only meant to insert text. Btw. the LaTeX-Suite might not be the best solution. Here's what the bot vimgor (from Freenode/#vim) has to say about it: <vimgor> A slightly-maintained, buggy, over-complicated plugin intended to make it easier to author (La)Tex files. Often, this is better served by using a standalone snippets plugin (like snipMate) to define the snippets you actually find useful as well as using the command ':compiler tex' to allow using Vim's quickfix feature when compiling TeX to an output format. Personally I use XPTemplate instead of snipMate and it works very well for me. Regards, Simon -- + privacy is necessary + using gnupg http://gnupg.org + public key id: 0x92FEFDB7E44C32F9
