Color differences between normal terminal and tmux terminal

In ~/.tmux.conf:
      set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

In .bashrc or .profile:
     export TERM=xterm-256color
   alias tmux ="TERM=xterm-256color tmux"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated: 5/11/16

Actually, everything works okay with just the change in ~/.tmux.conf...

I removed:
export TERM=xterm-256color from .bashrc
alias tmux="TERM=xterm-256color tmux" from .profile


Discovered this when trying to overcome the following problem created by running tmux in xterm-256color mode. Matlab in commandline mode inside tmux does not recognize home and end keys etc. Displays them as "[~1" etc. rather than moving the cursor.

Switching between Latex compilers when using vim latex-suite

https://gist.github.com/dineshj1/8f0783ae5211c31a8aa6ea04a9664fa3

Use latexmk with pdflatex as the default compiler. Mapped to <leader><leader>

But now, use latexmk with xelatex as a compiler by using shortcut <leader>x.
