czm-tex-edit.el: Helper functions for editing LaTeX

Overview

This package contains a large number of miscellaneous helper functions for editing LaTeX documents. They’re a bit complicated and personal, but I figured I’d share them in case they’re of any use or inspiration.

Configuration

This package requires AUCTeX and dynexp.el, so install those first.

Download this repository, install using M-x package-install-file (or package-vc-install, straight, elpaca, …), and add something like the following to your init file:

(use-package czm-tex-edit
  :after latex dynexp
  :bind
  (:map LaTeX-mode-map
        ("C-c t i" . czm-tex-edit-emphasize)
        ("C-c t b" . czm-tex-edit-bold)
        ("C-c t l" . czm-tex-edit-underline)
        ("C-c t u" . czm-tex-edit-unemphasize)
        ("C-c t e" . czm-tex-edit-external-document-link)
        ("C-c p e" . czm-tex-edit-repeat-most-recent-equation)
        ("C-c p d" . czm-tex-edit-repeat-line-contents)
        ("C-c p r" . czm-tex-edit-repeat-region)
        ("C-c p s" . czm-tex-edit-substackify)
        ("C-c p i" . czm-tex-edit-yank-interior-delete-delim)
        ("C-c p f" . czm-tex-edit-fractionify-region)
        ("C-c p b" . czm-tex-edit-enlarge-parentheses)
        ("C-c p h" . czm-tex-edit-split-equation)
        ("C-c e" . czm-tex-edit-make-equation-numbered)
        ("C-c i" . czm-tex-edit-make-equation-inline)
        ("C-c w" . czm-tex-edit-make-equation-align)
        ("s-<return>" . czm-tex-edit-return))
  :config
  (czm-tex-edit-define-color-functions-and-bindings
   "C-c t c"
   (("red" . "r") ("green" . "g") ("blue" . "b") ("yellow" . "y") ("orange" . "o") ("purple" . "p") ("black" . "k") ("white" . "w") ("cyan" . "c") ("magenta" . "m") ("lime" . "l") ("teal" . "t") ("violet" . "v") ("pink" . "i") ("brown" . "n") ("gray" . "a") ("darkgreen" . "d") ("lightblue" . "h") ("lavender" . "e") ("maroon" . "u") ("beige" . "j") ("indigo" . "x") ("turquoise" . "q") ("gold" . "f") ("silver" . "s") ("bronze" . "z"))))

Customize the binds to your liking. Use the built-in documentation (C-h f czm-tex-edit-whatever) to see what the various commands do.
