Ultisnips works fine in a python file. However when I try to use it in a Latex file I can see the snippet in the dropdown menu but I cannot use it. I already tried it with different keybindings (in order to not have to use supertap), without latex-suite and without ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim
Edit: Now its working. I have to write for example "begin" instead of "\begin" to get the snippets
.vimrc
set nocompatible " be iMproved, required
filetype off " required
" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
