Math tex snippets for UltiSnips

This snippet file is for UltiSnips plugin in Vim, so you need to install UltiSnips in your Vim (if not installing Vim first).

To use the snippet file you need to configure UltiSnips, but I didn't try to know how to configure this. I just use vim-snippets plugin to do that for me.

So I recommend you just install vim-snippets plugin like me and copy this file to your vim-snippets directory. It should be '~/.vim/bundle/vim-snippets/UltiSnips/' by default.

• The less, the better (only heavily used typings)
• Convenience
• No confusion
• Do not change users' custom of typing
• No hot-key

When I type LaTeX, I heavily use the arrow keys; and this is a waste of time. So I decided to reduce the use of those keys I set up a set of snippet to auto-middle for '(', '[', and '{', etc. So you just type '()' then the cursor will be in the middle. When you have finished typing in the parentheses, you can just press '<tab>' to jump out of the parentheses.

Only you have done above, you can just start editing your tex file by Vim. But before that I recommend you have a glance at the snippet file to learn what you can do with this.

To type Einstein's field equation

We just type

eq<tab>\[G_\m<tab> \n<tab><tab> + \L<tab> g_\m<tab> \n<tab><tab> = frac<tab>8\p<tab> G<tab>c^4<tab><tab> T_\m<tab> \n<tab>

to get

\begin{equation}
	\[ G_{\mu \nu} + \Lambda g_{\mu \nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^{4}} T_{\mu \nu} \]
\end{equation}

Here I use '\m' instead of just '\mu' for consistency. At here its convience is not obvious, but when you type '\g' for '\gamma' or '\e' for 'epsilon', the convience is clear. Notice that I didn't press any arrow key. The mappings I used to map these keys to the Greek letters is by the Greek keyboard. See GreekKeyboard for a complete version.

Any advice to improve is welcome.
