Re: Getting started with Vim-Latex

Hi Daryl,

I'm pleased that you keep up the hard work with Vim - it will pay out
in a few months or years. I'm using it now for 1 1/2 years and put the
documentations (great hacks, shortcuts, plugins, automated
installatuion scripts) on github (https://github.com/matthias-guenther/
vim-settings
). Fell free to copy and take what you need.

But remember to build up your own Vim environment - it is unique like
every person.

Best regards

Matthias
