Hi Alex,

thanks for this bundle: I use LaTeX2  specially ⌘R and cycle

I use also the bundle of Guido. II like LATEX subscript and  
superscript and also
LATEX SYMBOL but I have the problem with ^ and the french keyboard

I use also my bundle" latex author", for example to get a highlight  
syntax
  of Tex Terms ( to see the primitives of TeX ) an I have also my  
laTeX theme

This is not the only problem, I think another problem :
  different languages
  are mixed  for example to create ⌘R, python ruby why not only one  
language.
It's difficult to add or remove something

pdflatex but I need to some specific script to run asymptote or giac  
with latex

Yes I use ESC and ALT ESC but there is always a bug in the completion  
with
  ALT ESC
ALT ESC don't work if there is in the preamble something like
  \input{essai}

  Example
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
  \input{essai}
\in .... alt esc nothing !
\end{document}

After \in and ALT ESC, a window gives

I modified the file LateXCommandCompletions.rb and I added

def recursiveFileSearch(initialList)
   extraPathList = []
   fileExt="tex"

Now ALT ESC works correctly but I would like to know if my change is  
correct !

I don't use Tidy but I need the other commands of the LaTeX bundle but
  I need three bundles of LateX to work correctly.
