Continuous Build Toggle about vimtex HOT 8 CLOSED

Good idea. Today you can start with <leader>ll and stop with <leader>lk. My first thought is that it would make sense to remove the lk mapping and let ll be a toggle. Alternatively, I could add an option so that the old behaviour is kept (and default). What are your thoughts?

from vimtex.

Many possibilies. What came to my mind first was a mapping

nnoremap <expr> <leader>lc latex#latexmk#status() ? ":call latex#latexmk#compile()<CR>' : ':latex#latexmk#stop()<CR>'

but latex#latexmk#status() returns a string. How about 0 or 1 to indicate compilation or idling ? Or, perhaps cleanest, add a buffer variable that indicates the compile state.

Reconfiguring <leader>ll to toggle instead of only to start compilation and removing <leader>lk sounds like a nice idea!

Sorry, I've been very busy lately. I changed the <leader>ll mapping into a compilation toggle. I think this is a good idea, and I think my implementation should be suitable. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. I kept the <leader>lk mapping as it was, so that there should be no surprise to anyone.

Just been tex'ing this minute and tried it. Works like a charm, thanks a lot!

Great! Happy to hear it.

I'll keep the issue open until @Konfekt has commented.

Thanks! Works flawlessly over here.

Don't forget to document this feature and add a VimLatexToggle command.

Oh, that's already done. Didn't show up in the above commit's reference.

Yes, I forgot to tag the issue in the latest commits. :)

Thanks for reporting the issue!
