Recommend a LaTeX compiler/editor for me

Hi.

I used to use TeXnicCenter and liked it for it's good keyboard usability. But it seems to not be that popular or well-recommended or no longer updated.

I am on a brand new Win 10 PC. What editors (and I guess I have to install a compiler) would you recommend for me? Important features to me ...

Can't Get to Package Repository

Yes, I can see that link. "MikTeX Package Repositories". Shows 10 entries. Changed to 100 and got a longer list.

Does TeX Live replace MikTeX? Will I have to reconfigure TeXnicCenter? Suppose I just (relearn how to and) install MikTeX? Does that require me to reconfigure TeXnicCenter?

Can't Get to Package Repository

I think my MikTeX can't find the Package Repository. How do I change where it looks for the repository?


I'm trying to download the mathpazo package, but I keep getting "No Data" and "get host by name failed in tcp_connect(). See the pictures.

I tried to change the package repository, but even ...

Change Math Font

I need to change the math font in my documents. The letters 'u' and 'v' look very similar (rounded bottom) in the font I'm using, which is whatever the default in my setup is. I need a font with pointy "vees". When the documents display in a classroom, the 'u' and 'v' look too similar.

I have a ...

Breaking math expression

I can't figure out why it won't work in my file. I'm posting the whole thing here -- even though it's not exactly an MWE -- hoping someone can help me.

The \linebreak is on line 275 (with wordwrap turned off). It will be question 7 in the output.

Test 2 (Sets, Fcns, Combinatorics).tex
I can't ...

Breaking math expression

It seems that when I turn \everymath{\displaystyle} back on, it blocks the \linebreak .

Is there a way to turn off \displaystyle temporarily? I've tried \textstyle but no luck. If not, I can probably get away without it this (and most) documents (mostly, I hate the displaystyle \sigma and \int ...

Breaking math expression

Thanks. Not looking for a matrix. In math terms (if you're curious), it's a set of ordered pairs, which is not the same as a matrix. Your first solution is what I want.

I see you used \linebreak . This is good for the time being. Is there a way to automate it, so that LaTeX chooses an appropriate ...

Breaking math expression

How can I get a long expression to break across lines within a paragraph?

I have (well, had) \everymath{\displaystyle}.

I have a long line that I do not want to put on its own line

Given the relation $R$ on $A=\set{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}$ defined by $R=\set{(1,1),(1,2),(1,4),(1,8),(2,2),(2,4),(2,8),(3 ...

Total points on a page using exam class

I want to total the points on the bottom of each page, instead of for each question (you know, if a page has more than one question, or less than one full question). I swear I read how to do that somewhere, but cannot find it. Is there a routine way to total the points on a page?
