Latex-Suite utilizes a set of macros originally created by Carl Mueller in auctex.vim to make inserting all the \left ... \right stuff very easy and to also make some use of the heavily under-utilized <Alt> key.
NOTE: By default, the mappings involving the <Alt> key are turned off for compatibility with inserting non-ASCII characters. It can be enabled by setting let g:Tex_AdvancedMath = 1 in your $VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim. NOTE: By default, typing Alt-<key> in Vim takes focus to the menu bar if a menu with the hotkey <key> exists. If in your case, there are conflicts due to this behavior, you will need to set set winaltkeys=no in your $VIM/ftplugin/tex.vim in order to use these maps.
