Cursor shift when switching from normal to insert mode

[Bernd Krolla]

Hi,

I use and like the latex-suite plugin in combination with vim quite much!

However, when switching modes (normal to insert, normal to replace), every second time, the cursor will be shifted one character to the right.

Example:

Case 1:

• Cursor over m in exmple
• Press i to go to insert-mode and press a leads to example.

Repeating exacly this one more time (at another word in the text) will result here:

Case 2:

• Cursor over m in exmple
• Press i to go to insert-mode and press a leads to exmaple (cursor shifted one to the right when pressing i)

I find myself continiously alternating between case1, case 2...

Any help appreciated. :)

FYI:
vim version: 7.3.429
OS: Ubuntu 12.04

I cannot reproduce that behaviour.

Hi gerw,

I have this https://github.com/phillipberndt/vimconfig/tree/master/bundle/vim-evince-synctex plugin in my .vim/bundle-folder, which interferes with the latex-suite. Disableing it leaves me without syncronization of pdf and latex. Do you have any latex-suite compatible solution for this?

Regards

[Gerd Wachsmuth]

Hi,

I use syncronization of pdf and latex based on evince_vim_dbus.py. I start gvim in a script with

gvim --servername "$servername" "$texfile"
evince_vim_dbus.py GVIM "$servername" "$basename.pdf" "$basename.tex"

As viewer setting in latex-suite I use synctex_wrapper, see https://github.com/gerw/vim-latex-suite/blob/master/ftplugin/latex-suite/compiler.vim#L414. synctex_wrapper is a simple script:

#!/bin/bash
pdf="$1"
line="$2"
column="$3"
tex="$(basename "$4")"
evince_vim_dbus.py EVINCE "$(basename "$pdf")" "$line" "$tex"

Hope that works.
