This is a small mapping that can be used for jumping sections in a latex file (just like ]m and [m for Java methods) map <silent> ]s :/\\$sub$\{,2}section\s*{<CR> :noh<CR> map <silent> [s :?\\$sub$\{,2}section\s*{<CR> :noh<CR> I want to extend it to recognize something like 2]s to move two sections forward. How to do it. Aditya

Here is an excerpt from my tex ftplugin, where section jumping works with count. The search() function is used rather than // command to avoid the wrap-arounds and end-of-file messages. Also, if you want to keep the original search pattern, just comment out the "let @/ = pat" line. Hope this helps, Pavol """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" " section jumping noremap <buffer> <silent> ]] :<c-u>call TexJump2Section( v:count1, '' )<cr> noremap <buffer> <silent> [[ :<c-u>call TexJump2Section( v:count1, 'b' )<cr> function! TexJump2Section( cnt, dir ) let i = 0 let pat = '^\\$part\|chapter\|\(sub$*section\|paragraph\)\>\|\%$\|\%^' let flags = 'W' . a:dir while i < a:cnt && search( pat, flags ) > 0 let i = i+1 endwhile let @/ = pat endfunction
