description

https://github.com/zhoubihn/tex-labels 1. When a LaTeX file is edited in Vim, any of commands `\ref{}`, `\eqref{}`, `\pageref{}` and `\cite{}` triggers a popup window, with cross reference identifiers or bibliography identifiers listed, each one in a line. In one such line, there is the number of corresponding LaTeX counter (or the label of the cited reference),  the identifier, the page number where it appears in the DVI/PS/PDF file (for cross reference only), the line number and the file name where it is defined by `\label{}` or `\bibitem{}`.  When one of them is selected, the corresponding identifier is automatically inserted in the curly brace around the cursor. 2. Large LaTeX project, containing a main file and several included/input files, is supported. 3. During typing in the identifier for `\label{}` or `\bibitem{}`, existing and potentially conflicting identifiers, if any, are displayed in a popup window. The popup window is automatically closed when there is no longer conflict.
