LatexTools--Completion

#1

I very recently started to use latex with Submime Text. I installed Latex Tools but I cannot quite get the logic of completion:

  1. I start typing\beg and then tab, I get a window with possible latex commands. I choose \begin{} but what I get instead is begin{} ... \end{}, i.e., the begin does not have the slash. It looks as if I need to type \\beg (with two slashes) in order to get the correct syntax. Is this how it works?

  2. I type \\beg+ tab to get \begin{} ... \end{} and start typing inside the first {}, which also fills out the second {}. I then move the cursor outside the closing brace of the \begin{} but whatever I type also is echoed past the cosing brace of the \end{}. What does it take so that I can begin typing the contents of the \begin{} ... \end{} structure?

  3. Related to this: I type \\ followed by return, expecting to enter a new line, instead I get begingroup..\endgroup, which is the first choice in the completion window. How do I enter a new line?

Thank you – this fixed it for me too.

I am surprised that this bug was reported 6 months ago but has not been fixed yet. Very disorienting for unsuspecting users.
