Config Files List

• Vim+Latex setup
• fcitx5 wps+chinese input files.

Vimtex Config Notes

• I use vim-plug to install my vim plug-ins. I however prefer a minimalist system so I keep only the most essential themes. 0 bloating.

• VimTeX is a modern Vim filetype and syntax plugin for LaTeX files. This tutorial is preety much what you need to install and get started using Vimtex.

• Ejmatnast has written some good notes on getting started with Vim-latex. He comes in highly recommended.

• Papercolor is you need your vim to use the famous papercolor theme, I suggest this one. Its beautiful and easy on the eyes.

fcitx5 Config Notes

On Linux, fcitx is my go-to tool for Chinese input. However its a pain to install and after every system format am normally fingers-crossed on whether it shall work. fcitx5 is the newest and works on i3. Some config needs to be done to work with WPS Office suite.

• Read carefully on how to install fcitx5.
• I start my wm using the startx command, so the following needs to be in my environment variables.

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
