Quickstart

This guide will get you your first result with Tungsten immediately after installation.

Input:  1 + 1
Action: <leader>tee  (Visual Select + Leader + t + e + e)
Output: 1 + 1 = 2

Step-by-Step

1. Open a Scratch File

Open a new file in Neovim to test the plugin.

nvim test.tex

2. Basic Evaluation

Type a simple arithmetic expression into the buffer:

1 + 1

Enter Visual Mode by pressing v and select the text 1 + 1. Then, trigger the :TungstenEvaluate command (the default keybinding is <leader>tee).

3. See the Result

Tungsten will process the expression and insert the result directly into your buffer. By defult, it uses = as a separator.

1 + 1 = 2

4. Persistent Variables

You can define variables that persist across different evaluations. E.g. try to type the following assignment (using := as the default assignment operator):

x := 5

Now, select the text x := 5 and run the :TungstenDefinePersistentVariable command (<leader>ted). This will store the value of x = 5 in the current session.

Now, we can use that variable in a new expression, such as:

x \cdot 2

Selecting x \cdot 2 and running :TungstenEvaluate we obtain:

x \cdot 2 = 10
