I am using vim on macos, latest version. I have tried the installation instructions in JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim. The LaTex-to-Unicode substitutions do not work. I would appreciate some detailed advice on how to get this working. Thanks – Doug

Hi and welcome to Discourse. I am not a Mac user, but I do use the Vim plugin on Linux.

I used the [built in package management](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim/blob/master/INSTALL.md#using-built-in-package-management) have you tried that method? Do you use other Vim plugins? Hopefully you have checked that your Vim version is supported. If this does not help, please describe exactly what the error is (e.g. the specific Latex code and what precisely the result is).

Yes, I tried the built in package management, without success. It works ok on my linux mint machine. I tried MacVim and it worked fine with the built in package management. Problem solved!
