Does vimtex support this type completition? #3152
|
For each command, a placeholder is placed at each argument, and I can jump to the next arg pressing tab. For example, the above picture is what vscode do.
With vimtex and nvim-cmp, I can only get auto completition of the command itself, with no argument information. Is something wrong with my configuration, or should I write a snippet for each command? |

I'm sorry, but no - VimTeX only provides simple command completion without any form of snippet support. You might want to checkout texlab, though - it's a language server for latex that will work well alongside VimTeX. You can use it for completion instead of VimTeX - I think it may be as good or better even. |

I checked how latexwork-shop(a vscode plugin for latex) achieves this completition, and found that they create a snippet for each command. See https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/tree/master/dev/packages. I create a plugin gaoqiangks/vscode-latex-snippets for my own use, it works for me but hasn't been fully tested. |

Yes, you are right that you can get this type of completion with snippets. But that's not within the scope of VimTeX. There are a lot of different snippet plugins for Vim and Neovim. I've written a little bit about this in |
