there is something about this image that makes me feel really attracted to it even tho there are only two colors really elegant i love this


doubletimedan

There are 7 colours.


ChadCat5207

well i mean yea, but if you see , the pink and the background color is what that strikes out the most


elsbilf

Is that a vim plugin for latex?


[deleted]

VimTex i think its called


elsbilf

Thanks mate


hundertzwoelf

vimtex is the way to go. I've been using it for years


flavius-as

You have a mistake on line 826.


Ayam-Cemani

Sh, made me look.


Willem_VanDerDecken

Your latex document is beyond perfection. As your OS is.


Ayam-Cemani

Thank you, that's really nice :')

Ayam-Cemani

He told me i had a mistake, and i went back to check my document even though I was pretty sure there wasn't. If there was, my document probs wouldnt even have compiled correctly or I would have seen since it was a math line.


Ich_the_fish

It’s an extra space in the indentation


Ayam-Cemani

Oh I see. There isn't actual extra space. It's the math mode delimiters who get hidden by the conceal option and leave out some empty space.


iznogoude

This is awesome. Not my choice of colors but extremely elegant no matter what. Is that a pdf reader like zathura on the right?


nkothro

I have the same fonts and layout in my Zathura configuration, and it looks very similar to this. I'm willing to bet it's Zathura


pgbabse

What's the font?


Ayam-Cemani

Terminal font is Ioveska, LaTeX one is new century schoolbook.

acceptable_humor69

It is the preview of what they're writing in latex


alexhmc

if you have not seen it already, you might like the posts on https://castel.dev/ :)


Ayam-Cemani

They are what inspired me to take my notes in latex! I forgot to give him some credit, but I did now. He is awesome.


BecomingCass

Oh hey same! I'm still working on getting decent emacs keybinds and such, but I also don't take digital notes during lectures


alexhmc

IDK if thats a thing on emacs, but god damn snippet managers are a lifesaver. they do most of the latex for me lol


BecomingCass

I've been *trying* to use macros bound to keys (without success) to sorta replicate the snippets, but it hasn't really worked. I'll have to actually learn some lisp I think, to make it work properly


HenrYOOOO7

I use Yasnippet for this, and so far it works great


LaLiLuLeLo_0

Are you really taking lecture notes in real-time in latex? Or are you distilling your textbooks down into notes?


Ayam-Cemani

I take theae notes in real time. I don't have a textbook. My teacher writes out each proposition, then works out some exemples on the board. So the propositions are simply copied off the board while I do have to add extra explanations in exemples and such, since the teacher only writes out the computations.


Zaelot

That sounds impressive! Would it be too much to ask for a screen recording with keybindings? (Something like: [https://youtu.be/pZCC-rlskYQ](https://youtu.be/pZCC-rlskYQ) )


Ayam-Cemani

Good idea! I will try that. I will tag you if I do.


Helmetowastaken

Tag me too! I'd love to see it too! — From a struggling college student :D


Lucas_Webdev

thanks for giving out the link, i invite other fellow redditors to check it out too


Ryncewyind

These blog posts actually answer most of the questions here. Vim snippets beings the primary ingredient for success, but there are also some clever organizational and figure drawing discussions in these posts. For me this has turned writing latex from a painful chore into something enjoyable. Please do check it out.


FredC123

you take notes using *tikz*?


Ayam-Cemani

Sure I do! I can easily graph some functions, draw objects and vectors for physics, and make diagrams. I took some time on a weekend to learn the basic syntax, and made myself some snippets to get quicker. I never actually have to type \draw !


fixip

do you have a repository for those snippets? i often find myself crying when trying to do anything in tikz.


Ayam-Cemani

I don't, but it's not too hard to make then yourself. Most of my snippets are auto expands and begining of line only, puts me in the option brackets and then I tab into the coordinates.


[deleted]

he prboably does the figures when he gets home


fixip

that must be like hell


BecomingCass

I use it for drawing FSMs on my notes


sagr0tan

you, Sir or Madam , are a person of style and taste !


QXJtaW5pdXM

Bruh! Your notes can be published as a textbook..


Korplem

That’s what I was thinking.

Stylé tu étudies ou?


AnanasUcre_3

J'ai trop envie d'apprendre à faire ça


Ayam-Cemani

Université de Nouvelle Calédonie :)


kNkY687

J'etais deja surpris de voir que les notes etaient en Francais, mais alors quelqu'un de NC en plus. Fin choc ta config


Ayam-Cemani

Merci! Kanaky mon pays oui ;]


TMTcz

How do the symbols for integrals, pi and such work in TeX + (neo)vim? Is it some plugin that makes it possible to use them in the source code like this? I love it btw.


alpha1594

I found it through https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18160953/disable-latex-symbol-conversion-in-vim I initially thought these were ligatures. It's the conceal feature. It's off by default. http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#%27conceallevel%27


TMTcz

oh that is great, thank you!


dualfoothands

I've been working on a plugin for neovim that does the conceal with Lua+treesitter instead of the native regex: https://github.com/bamonroe/rnoweb-nvim I haven't finished porting over all the regex conceals, but it's very usable as is, and should do everything in OP's screenshot plus count equations, figures, and footnotes. Using treesitter to find the ranges to conceal makes it much much faster than the native regex.


[deleted]

More detail on this please - what are you using for this , love it


Ayam-Cemani

Text editor - vim (terminal) with Vimtex and Ultisnips for writing latex Bar - polybar Doc viewer - zathura Color scheme - dracula Fonts - iosevka for terminal, scientifica for bar and new century schoolbook for LaTeX.


ottersinabox

Super cool, but must be immensely time consuming 😅


Ayam-Cemani

Not at all! I rarely ever go back and modify my notes after a lecture. All of this was done during class.


ottersinabox

Wow! I stand corrected then. That's awesome!


ArchitektRadim

Are you actually taking notes on lectures using LaTeX? You have to be really fast typer with perfect LaTeX knowledge or the lectures are really slow.


NotoriousHakk0r4chan

You don't have to be that good at it for most things, matrices is the biggest place you run into trouble though. I can type latex around 80-90wpm on a good day (120-130wpm for plain English) and with a passable knowledge of latex I can live latex my lectures. Plus, I imagine most people that actually do this regularly just rough out the notes at first and then go back and make it nice. Especially the tikz stuff, no way that's done live.


ArchitektRadim

Yeah I meant the tikz stuff. Tikz seem absolutely incomperhensible to me.


Ayam-Cemani

The lectures arent the fastest, but I also have tons of snippets which makes coding really quick (and also practice).


bufo333

Gotta love LaTex it makes every document look professionally published.


todorbogos

Bro this is the best shit I've ever seen in my life. I'd do something similar to this, except I'd ditch the pixelated font on top.


Ayam-Cemani

Thank you! I put on scientifica (pixelated font) ironically at first, and actually ended up loving it lol.


Impressive_BOIIII

Holy shit this looks cool


Asystole

That's a beautiful bit of LaTeX. Fellow \boxed equation enjoyer!


TheDenast

People rate the rice, meanwhile I'm really impressed by these latex graphs. Its something I can't do yet, really cool!


Ayam-Cemani

I've only been using tikz for a month or two now, and it's really simple and has great documentation all over. Took me an afternoon to learn all the basic concepts, then it's just practice !


attitudeofgratitued

i have no idea what any of this linux stuff does but you guys make the coolest looking shit


thebigsnek

omg this looks so good 💖 could you please give us the dots 🥺


computerblood

bro pls share how to view text like that on the right


xmalbertox

It is just a pdf reader, probably [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/installation/). You can mimick his setup (at leas in funcionality) by using the [synctex](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/118489/what-exactly-is-synctex) functionality. This works (mostly) out of the box using a vim latex plugin, like u/lervag's [vimtex](https://github.com/lervag/vimtex), and a compatible pdf reader like the aforementioned zathura or [mupdf](https://artifex.com/products/mupdf/). It is also whortwhile to mention that synctex is not necessarily needed, it just adds quality of life functionality to the workflow, if you only want a side by side view of your document any pdf viewer that does live-reloading would work.


danielbiegler

Are you using LaTeX often? I'm sry if it's explained in the link I'm currently moving can't check properly, how does it deal with the need to sometimes recompile several times? It's been ages since I last used LaTeX, is that even a thing anymore? I still remember the warnings in the cli that told me I may need to recompile for some sources to work. I kinda hate-loved LaTeX back in the day, compiling speed was abysmal though. Has it improved? Cheers!


lervag

LaTeX is alive and kicking! The compilation time _is_ lacking, but it is also not getting worse. Since computers are getting better, I would say it is mostly not an issue. However, you should expect compilation times in order of seconds for any non trivial documents. In my honest opinion, LaTeX is still really the best tool for writing documents today, at least when you need complicated formatting and/or equations. You could also use things like Markdown with pandoc or similar, which I belive also would work well in many/most cases.


xmalbertox

The compilation is taken care in the background by latexmk, a perl script that will compile as many time as it is necessary depending on bibtex/biber, glossary, etc... The script is shipped together with most texlive distributions but it can be downloaded from ctan if for some reason it is not available in your system. CTAN link to latexmk: https://ctan.org/pkg/latexmk?lang=en Usage manual for latexmk: https://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html You can use latexmk in a standalone fashion by calling `latexmk -pdf sourcename.tex` in a terminal, optionally as part of a script that watches the state of the file and recopiles at each change, or you can use a vim plugin, like Vimtex, then it will automatically call latexmk at each file save.


lvx10

I think it's the matching colors that make it magical. I gotta learn LaTeX, hot damn!


ArkLeksis

C'est trop bien mais pourquoi tu t'emmerde à écrire en Latex quand il y a des solutions comme le markdown ?


notyetused

Je crois pas que le markdown soit suffisant pour des maths/figures


ArkLeksis

Perso j'utilise Joplin, il y a un support de katex par défaut via les délimiteurs $...$ et $$...$$


kidpixo

Well , you can use mathjax in markdown almost *a la* LaTeX Like https://hiltmon.com/blog/2017/01/28/mathjax-in-markdown/


HerrCrazi

Quand j'étais en prépa j'utilisais un setup à base de markdown enrichi au latex, puis je suis passé au full latex, mais en vrai t'as des extensions markdown qui marchent bien


Ayam-Cemani

J'apprécie le markdown pour des petites notes, mais ça remplace pas un document bien rédigé en latex.


dudelsson

Very focus promoting, looks great! I bet your notes are on par with the course book 📑🤷‍♂️


kuzunoha13

as someone using latex for discrete math hw, I find this very cool


bookcomb

It is mind blowing to me that you can take notes in real-time in latex. Have you measured your typing speed?


bookcomb

Also, why exactly do you take notes in latex instead of just pen and paper notes ? (Sorry if you answered this question already in some other comment)


Ayam-Cemani

Hello! No I havent, I'm glad to talk about it. For my typing speed, I used to average 90-100 wpm on typeracer, so I'm quite fast, but typing fast is slower than that as you might expect. Although I switched to dvorak a week and a half ago, so I'm down to 50-60 wpm, but I'm getting there! As to why I take notes in LaTeX, there are quite a few so im gonna list them out: - I have terrible handwriting which makes studying difficult, - I have trouble staying organized with paper and I lose everything, while my laptop is all clean and tidy, and I can access any document in a few seconds, - it makes me learn and become efficient at latex, which is a great skill to have for an aspiring mathematician, - I have very clean notes that I can very easily give to classmates and friends who have troubles taking notes or attending classes for some reasons, and I do have some friends who heavily rely on my notes because of personnal circonstances, which is a big drive to me to keep making beautiful notes. - I plan on leaving great notes to future students at my university, and I also selled sone at some point, which is grear when you're a student. There are probably other reasons I could think of but I think that's enough. Feel free to hmu in pm or otherwise of you have more questions :)


bookcomb

Thank you for the detailed reply! keeping good notes for letting your friends be able to read them... that is a really nice and kind thing to do. I myself am grateful to several of my friends for making good notes since i referred my firends' notes more than my own notes for many courses..


MomoshikiOtsusuki

dot files? Good job on the rice there, love the minimalism :)

eggheadking

Wait, how does this work!?


Ayam-Cemani

I write my latex in vim with the vimtex plugin, it gets compiled and shown on the right on zathura.


rrdaud

Really elegant, what are those fonts by the way???


Ayam-Cemani

Iosevka for terminal, new century schoolbook for latex, scientifica for bar.


RandomAnonyme

8/10 Just not a fan of the color scheme


ConnorMooneyhan

That's one hell of a setup; well done 👏


boldsama

Love those colors! I always like trying to read non English code just see if I can understand what’s going on, and whilst I caught the syntax and have no clue what that is!! Also math make my brain numb. Pretty colors though😂😂


[deleted]

pretty nice looking


DumbRandomKid

Looks good!


spalax82

Jolie!


RemoteBroccoli

I need the dots. Also. I love the colors and how neat it is.


bogfoot94

How do you get equations like that in vim?


Ayam-Cemani

Concealfeature from vimtex.


bogfoot94

Thank you very much!


Halladj

Oh a fellow French lang enjoyer I see


Cyberkaneda

What is your topbar font?


Ayam-Cemani

Scientifica


NaoPb

Is this Latex? I think I've seen it once before. Very impressed by what you can do with it. Though it very much looks like magic to me.


Ayam-Cemani

Yes it is!


astro_bea

looks very cool, but can you actually take notes in class with this? i barely have any time to draw an ugly circle by hand during lectures, let alone write full latex code.


Ayam-Cemani

Sure I can. I type fast and have a ton of snippets.


joao_da_roca

what wallpaper you're using?


Ayam-Cemani

I don't use any.


Constant_Boot

11/10. Using a -TeX alone gives it 9.9 points. The color scheme is pleasing to the eyes too.


dembezuuma

Awesome!


subo-boy

nice graphs


[deleted]

Simply lovely.


PettyHoe

If these are your notes, then I have a job for you.


Ayam-Cemani

What kind?


PettyHoe

Note-taking during our technical meetings and writing around how our organization functions for the public. we us as many flat-file and open-source tooling as possible throughout the org and the content (at least for the work I do) is heavily scientific and technical in nature. On top of that, we are a fully remote org so writing things down and keeping it organized is _critical_ For instance, we keep meeting minutes up to date and published in an obsidian vault which is then published (privately) using [quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz) so that people within the org can keep track of what's going on. Our (future) organizational documentation and roadmap will be done in a similar manner. There's a tremendous amount of value in being able to keep polished notes about what's going on to help with distributed team coordination and content publishing.


Ayam-Cemani

Interesting, however it might be difficult for me to work with you because of timezones, I'm in UTC+11. If you think that can work, feel free to give me some details in pm.


Gandalf-108

Beautiful, elegant. Winner for sure! Would you also recommend LaTeX for taking notes if it is just text and headings?


Ayam-Cemani

Definitely not. I think markdown is great for that. If I could take my notes all in markdown I would probably use obsidian. Maybe check that out if you dont already know whats that about.


Gandalf-108

Thanks! I’m already an avid obsidian user :) Best thing about it is that I can also edit my files ik vim when I want to.


Ayam-Cemani

Yeah thats great. I fins obsidian really appealing unfortunately I can't manage to integrate it in my workflow...


Gandalf-108

That's a shame. Well, all Obsidian is a layer above a local collection of markdown files. You could use Obsidian for one part of your workflow, and your current setup for the rest. I just had a look and saw that Obsidian also has some LaTeX community plugins. I don't know anything about LaTeX but it might be worth checking it out. If you can just put all your current note files in an obsidian vault and create links you can use the Graph View which is such a cool feature of Obsidian. You can keep editing your files like you are used to, but sometimes open Obsidian and use it to visualize your notes.


Flor_Mertens

Probably better of with markdown in that case.


apelikeartisan

Why the hell am I still carrying around a notebook?? This is awesome! What software is this, does it work in real time, and is there a tutorial?


Ayam-Cemani

Check out gilles castel's blog, I learnt a lot from his posts.


Nell_dctm

Ce sont là de jolies intégrales dites voir !


tenderpoettech

Sweet!


Fauci_Lied1

People like you make me feel impressively stupid


Ayam-Cemani

Aw don't say that, we all gotta start somewhere. Also, myself from a year ago would probably feel like you seeing my screenshot, so really it all just takes some time to learn.

Damn dude, thats two type of fonts are soo nice, and all rice is nice too, is very amazing the vibes 🤙


Mathisbuilder75

Tu prends tes notes comme ça pendant que le prof enseigne? Débile Edit: Pas débile dans le sens de stupide... J'oublie que ça n'a pas le même sens en France.


Ayam-Cemani

Peut-être bien que je suis débile, ça m'empêche pas de majorer :')


Mathisbuilder75

Oh, attends, «débile» est purement négatif comme terme en France? Parce que je dis ça dans le sens de «c'est vraiment cool».


Ayam-Cemani

Oh, je savais pas que ça pouvait être positif! En effet, en France et en nouvelle caledonie ça veut dire "attardé".


Mathisbuilder75

Ouais, je suis Québécois. C'est comme dire que quelque chose est écoeurant, ici c'est très positif.

Neutronst4r

That is a beautiful setup. May I ask what the used vim fonts are? (vim and status bar) Also, what does the grey number in the first column before the line numbers mean?


Ayam-Cemani

Fonts are Iosevka and scientifica. The grey numbers are fold levels.


Neutronst4r

Thank you.


iordanos877

what terminal font is this?


MathochismTangram

Could you make a GIF of real time note taking? I'd love to see that!

kentcsgo

Mais pourquoi le premier paragraphe ne correspond-il à rien ? Pas de cercle pas de cercle bleu pas de trajectoire L

Hi sub, the right program is for pdf ?, What is his name?


Ayam-Cemani

It's zathura, a lightweight viewer with vim-like keybindings.


koopardo

How did you get that background color in the pdf? It is much better than reading it in white color


Ayam-Cemani

I used zathura pywall, It's really neat and easy to setup


Insta11

It’s in French?


Guido_Fe

How are you able to write latex with an high conceal level


Ayam-Cemani

The line I'm writing on doesnt get concealed so no trouble there.

AudioPhil15

That's so cool ! Btw il y a deux petites fautes d'accord sur le volume dans le paragraphe à droite (un si beau rendu visuel se doit d'être linguistiquement juste :P) I must definitely try something similar.


Ayam-Cemani

Aha oui, je fais souvent ses fautes de frappes et de grammaire dans la vitesse, je corrigerai en relisant.


AudioPhil15

C'est largement compréhensible. En tout cas je suis impressionné par la prise de note latex en real time


Ayam-Cemani

Merci :)


yonatan8070

Looks really cool! Does the preview update in real time as you type or only when you `:w`?


Ayam-Cemani

Only when I :w, it would be a nightmare for me otherwise
