Goal of this guide: make writing LaTeX as easy (fast, efficient, enjoyable…) as writing math by hand. Tech stack: the Vim text editor using the UltiSnips snippet plugin and the VimTeX plugin’s LaTeX editing features. The series should help if you…

    are interested in taking real-time lecture notes using LaTeX, à la Gilles Castel,
    want a LaTeX experience decidedly more pleasant and efficient than whatever you were probably first taught, whether your motivation is real-time university lecture speed or not,
    hope to switch to Vim from a different LaTeX editor, but are unsure how to proceed, or
    just want to browse someone else’s workflow and configuration out of curiosity.
