This is a similar question from tex stackexchange, which was closed as off topic. I ran into the same issue today and I want to re-post it hereThis is the original question:So I have just installed latex-suite using the default version of vim that ships with OSX 10.6. The problem I'm having is that \cite completion is not working properly. This is what happens:Begin citation by typing \cite{authorPress Fn F9 to bring up matchesSelect matchPress Enter. Instead of the citation being completed, I'm back at an empty \cite. Latex-suite is not completing the citation for me.  I've tried this with both iTerm and the OSX terminal. Any pointers as to what is going wrong?I have the same problem so my .vimrc should be ok to be a referece. Latex-Suite Settingsfiletype plugin onset grepprg=grep\ -nH\ $*filetype indent onlet g:tex_flavor='latex'Oh and since I am using gvim, it has python support.
