   Add the following line to your vimrc:
 
-  au VimEnter *.tex execute "nmap ZE :! synctex-katarakt-vim " . v:servername . " 2>/dev/null >/dev/null  &<LEFT><LEFT>"
+  au BufRead *.tex execute "nmap ZE :! synctex-katarakt-vim " . v:servername . " 2>/dev/null >/dev/null  &<LEFT><LEFT>"
 
   When typing ZE the first time, it automatically calls this script, overwrites
   the ZE keybinding, and opens a katarakt instance. After typing ZE the first
   time, you are prompted such that you can specify an alternate PDF file. If
   you want an alternate vim keybinding (e.g. <Leader>f), add this line:
 
-  au VimEnter *.tex execute "nmap ZF :! VIM_KEY='ZF' synctex-katarakt-vim " . v:servername . " 2>/dev/null >/dev/null  &<LEFT><LEFT>"
+  au BufRead *.tex execute "nmap ZF :! VIM_KEY='ZF' synctex-katarakt-vim " . v:servername . " 2>/dev/null >/dev/null  &<LEFT><LEFT>"
 
   If your key contains something like <Leader> (or other keys containing "<"),
   escape it properly in the VIM_KEY= assignment.
