Re: Any latex gui with vim key bindings?

Yes, kvim has currently been removed. Even before that it is really
buggy (with automatic windows resizing etc.,) anyway. So I always used
vim-gtk even in KDE.
For the latex part, you may want to look at the package
vim-latexsuite which I haven't tried but looks interesting.
If you read my original message, I have said that I have already tried
vim-latexsuite and texmacs. I am not really satisfied with both of them.
vim-latexsuite - though intuitive is not WYSIWYG
texmacs - though WYSIWYG kinda editor, has a complicated way of writing
latex file thus making it difficult to read/grep the actual file.
If by GUI, you meant WYSIWYG, then lyx is probably your best bet, but
I strongly urge you to try to learn latex directly. I puttered with
lyx for a while, but even though latex comes with a little learning
curve, its well worth learning. Its much like HTML in many ways..
Except that it does not have a good editor associated with it. HTML has
very good editors (like nvu etc.,). But Latex does not seem to have such
GUI editors.
In the end, I still recommend kile which is not vim-keybindings, but
very nice for latex editing.
I will try kile. Thanks
