vim+latex, can I compile using \ll without showing the Quicklist window and log file window?


I am new to vim+latex using latex-suite. So far it works well. I am enjoying vim. One thing I can't manage to get rid of is the two windows: Quicklist and log file, that appear automatically after calling \ll. I don't know how I can benefit from the Quicklist and log files. I just want to get rid of them. Does anyone know a way?


Solution

  • If the compilation is succesful those two windows should disapear. You should look at the quickfix and try to modify your code to get rid of the errors/warnings there.

    In general to close all other windows but the current one you just type ctrl-w o that is a ctrl-w followed by the letter o.

    A bit of explanation required by @Anand:

    There are several commands starting with ctrl-w followed by another key. Some of the ones I use more often are:

    ctrl-w + ctrl-w  -- change to previous window (same with ctrl-w+w)
    ctrl-w + j       -- move to next window (down)
    ctrl-w + k       -- move to previous window (up)
    ctrl-w + t       -- move to top window
    ctrl-w + b       -- move to bottom window
    ctrl-w + c       -- close current window
    ctrl-w + o       -- close all windows but this one (only window)
