Thanks for the response!
By the way, this is Vim-Latex 1.9.0.
Here is more data. I tried the following variants (beginning with the i
that numbers the item):
i."<Tab>".fname." " Produces "1"
i.":<Tab>".fname." " Produces "1:"
i.":".fname." " Produces "1:article"
(No space after the colon)
i.": ".fname." " Produces "1:"
(Space after the colon)
Also, there is nothing after the word Compile (or any of its siblings)
in the TeX-Suite menu. So, feeling brave, I opened texmenuconf.vim and
on line 56 deleted the <Tab> after the word "Compile" and got the -ll.
When I added a space after "Compile", the -ll disappeared.
So, recognizing that both <Tab> and space are whitespace, I'll be
looking at how whitespace is handled.

Hi Daryl,
this is weird. In fact, `:help creating-menus` states:
>>>>>>>>>
Special characters in a menu name:
<Tab> Separates the menu name from right-aligned text. This can be
used to show the equivalent typed command. The text "<Tab>"
can be used here for convenience. If you are using a real
tab, don't forget to put a backslash before it!
>>>>>>>>>
Hence, a "<Tab>" is perfectly fine here. Do you have right-aligned
text in the other menus, e.g. right of "Compile", you should find "ll"??
Best regards
Gerd

Okay, in case this question comes up again, here is *A* solution
(there may be better, but I'm a near-total VimScript newbie:
I deleted the <TAB> in line 24 of templates.vim:
" SetTemplateMenu: sets up the menu for templates {{{
function! <SID>SetTemplateMenu()
let flist = <SID>FindInTemplateDir('')
let i = 1
while 1
let fname = Tex_Strntok(flist, ',', i)
if fname == ''
break
endif
" exe "amenu
".g:Tex_TemplatesMenuLocation."&".i.":<Tab>".fname." ".
exe "amenu ".g:Tex_TemplatesMenuLocation."&".i.":".fname." ".
\":call <SID>ReadTemplate('".fname."')<CR>"
let i = i + 1
endwhile
endfunction
And then closed all Vim windows and opened .tex file.
According to one of the earlier posters on this problem, the issue
arises in other menus as well. I'll remember this in case I need it
later.

I'm installing Vim-LaTeX on all my workstations (OS X, Windows 10,
and four Ubuntu). First, kudos to the people who brought this to
the state that it's in; very impressive. The first thing I noticed
in OS X (from MacVim) is that when I click TeX-Suite->Templates, I
get a list of numbers 1: through 4:, but without the name of the
template. The templates work (at least 'article' and 'IEEEtran',
which I picked by looking at the contents of the 'templates' file.
How do I get the actual file names to show up?
This question was asked in 2010 and 2011 by different people and
apparently never answered. I thought I might try again.
