An unholy conglomeration of vim, evince, and friends for writing LaTeX

Goal

Do you prefer to use vim to edit your LaTeX files, but wish there was better integration between the editor and your pdf viewer? Well this is the project for you! The goal of ViTeX is to bring together high quality tools in a convenient package to make editing LaTeX as painless(tm) as possible.

Status

Development and testing happen on arch linux with the Gnome desktop environment. Most likely will work on any linux (and possibly OSX) with the right packages installed. Not optimistic about windows.

Features!

• Real neovim via Vte
• Custom init.vim for editing LaTeX (of course feel free to personalize)
• Embedded PDF view using Evince with auto reload
• Synctex support
• That's pretty much it!
