How to use

You need to learn the basic keybindings first (open nvim and type :Tutor and hit enter).

To edit LaTeX:

• Open your .tex document: nvim doc.tex or open neovim and type :e doc.tex
• To trigger auto complete, press Ctrl+Space
• To apply a suggestion, press Enter
• To choose a suggestion, press Tab or Shift+Tab
• To collapse or expand current block, press Space+j and Space+k

I also encourage reading VimTeX documentation for advancing in editing.
