    Hi, thank you for your work.
    Is it possible to change the default keyboard shortcuts?
    For example change Ctrl+Alt+1 to Alt+F10 ?

    Just go to the plugin settings and configure the tool you want to change the shortcut for. There you may specify any shortcut you like.

    This is great stuff!
    However, previously I always managed to integrate R Sweave into this plugin and to run *.Rnw files. Now, I added:

    R CMD Sweave “$shortname.Rnw”

    rubber –inplace –maxerr -1 –short –force –warn all –pdf “$filename”

    rubber –inplace –maxerr -1 –short –force –warn all –pdf “$filename”

    gnome-open “$shortname.pdf”

    But when I open *.Rnw file, although it is recognized as LaTeX, all s are disabled. How can I enable them?

    Best,

    Hi,

    features activation is based on the file’s extension – .Rnw is not part of the list. I’ll change this as soon as possible, watch the activities on http://sourceforge.net/projects/gedit-latex

    Hi, and thanks for your work on this plugin. I just discovered it and am now seriously considering dropping emacs+auctex in favor of it. I still have a few questions though :

    * How do I use the outline and syntax validation features ? I didn’t find any entry related to them in the menus.

    * Maybe not related to this plugin… I’m disappointed by the latex-specific syntax highlighting in gedit when compared to auctex. I only get different colors for latex commands like \begin and comments. In auctex, I have a different color for latex commands but also another one for the name of the environments, for math mode…. Is there a way to get this behaviour with a latex.lang and a gtksourceview style file ?

    Julien.

    hey, thank you for your work!
    especially the outline feature made my life a lot easier while writing my diploma thesis.

    Thanks a lot! I’ve been looking for a nice tex editor for gnome for ages.

    I have a question though. I your response to Raskòlnikov’s post you say that the keyboard shortcut are editable in the plugin configuration dialog within gedit. However, i can’t find it… Is there another way to do this?

    Thanks again!

    Oops, you’re right, seems like I dropped the custom keyboard shortcuts, sorry. I’ll bring them back in the next release…

    Just to check: any news regarding R-functionality (Rnw-files)?

    Thanks for you great work! Any updates on the .Rnw support?

    Thanks,

    Many thanks for your tool. I appreciate it very much. Yet I have some questions.
    1) I’m working with the biblatex package but gtp’s bibtex auto-completion does not seem to support the package. Completion works perfectly well without biblatex. Is there any solution? (Asides auto-completion biblatex works with gtp)
    2) Is there any chance to zoom in/out the implemented pdf preview?
    3) Is it possible to use an xml file instead of bib-file as source for the bibliography?
    That’s all for the moment!
    Looking forward to read some comments.
    Best

    Hi there,

    to all the “is it possible to…” posts: I’m sorry, this blog is not the right place to discuss technical issues with the plugin as my answers will get lost somehow.

    Please refer to the trackers (bug reports, feature requests, forum threads) on the project website http://sourceforge.net/projects/gedit-latex/

    Thanks!

    Hallo!
    Vielen lieben Dank für dieses Plugin – es gehört immer gleich zu den ersten Sachen, die ich installiere :D

    Der Ort hier ist wahrscheinlich der falsche, aber ich frage mich, wo der “PDF Erzeugen”-Knopf hin ist. STRG+ALT+2 zu drücken ist voll schwer und man läuft Gefahr sich etwas dabei zu brechen :)

    Trotzdem beide Daumen hoch und danke!
