latex-img-paste.vim

Yet simple tool to paste images into latex files

Use Case

An image on the clipboard gets "pasted" into the .tex document being edited: the plugin hooks <leader>p, checks if a latex file is being edited, saves the image from the clipboard to the location img/image1.png, and inserts

\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{img/image1.png}
    \caption{image1}
    \label{fig:image1}
\end{figure}

into the file.

Installation

Using VimPlug

Plug 'dedzago/latex-img-paste.vim'

Usage

Add to .vimrc

autocmd FileType tex,latex nnoremap <silent> <leader>p :call mdip#LatexClipboardImage()<CR>
" there are some defaults for image directory and image name, you can change them
" let g:mdip_imgdir = 'img'
" let g:mdip_imgname = 'image'
