latex-extra

Defines extra commands and keys for LaTeX-mode. To activate, install from melpa and call

(eval-after-load 'latex '(latex/setup-keybinds))

Note, this will move the key binds C-c C-q, C-c C-f, and C-c C-p. To understand why (or disable it) look into the variables latex/override-font-map, latex/override-fill-map, and latex/override-preview-map.

The additions of this package fall into the following three categories:

1-Key Compilation

Tired of hitting C-c C-c RET 4 times (latex, bibtex, latex, view) for the document to compile? That's 12 keys! This defines a much needed command that does everything at once, and even handles compilation errors!

  • C-c C-a => latex/compile-commands-until-done

Navigation

Five new keybindings are defined for navigating between sections/chapters. These are meant to be intuitive to people familiar with org-mode.

  • C-c C-n => latex/next-section
    Goes forward to the next section-like command in the buffer (\part, \chapter, (sub)section, or (sub)paragraph, whichever comes first).
  • C-c C-u => latex/up-section
    Goes backward to the previous section-like command containing this one. For instance, if you're inside a subsection it goes up to the section that contains it.
  • C-c C-f => latex/next-section-same-level
    Like next-section, except it skips anything that's "lower-level" then the current one. For instance, if you're inside a subsection it finds the next subsection (or higher), skipping any subsubsections or paragraphs.
  • C-M-f => latex/forward-environment
    Skip over the next environment, or exit the current one, whichever comes first.
  • C-M-e => latex/end-of-environment
    Exit the current environment, and skip over some whitespace afterwards. (Like LaTeX-find-matching-end, but a little more useful.)
  • C-M-b => latex/backward-environment
  • C-M-a => latex/beginning-of-environment
  • C-c C-p => latex/previous-section
  • C-c C-b => latex/previous-section-same-level
    Same as above, but go backward.

Whitespace Handling

latex-extra.el improves auto-fill-mode so that it only applies to text, not equations. To use this improvement, just activate auto-fill-mode as usual.

It also defines a new command:

  • C-c C-q => latex/clean-fill-indent-environment
    Completely cleans up the entire current environment. This involves:
    1. Removing extraneous spaces and blank lines.
    2. Filling text (and only text, not equations).
    3. Indenting everything.
