Interesting, just tested with TS 2.6 on linux. Works there too. Would you mind doing us all a favor, and figuring out how this works and add it to Emacs, preferably Emacs + Evince as that is the compo I use.
Cannot have others having features not present in Emacs :-) Might be an idea to check what actually is in the synctex file. And what exactly is getting back from the previewer (I've never sat down and looked at it). /Lars Madsen Institut for Matematik / Department of Mathematics Aarhus Universitet / Aarhus University Mere info: http://au.dk/daleif@imf / More information: http://au.dk/en/daleif@imf ________________________________________ From: Mosè Giordano [m...@gnu.org] Sent: 05 February 2015 10:45 To: Lars Madsen Cc: Tassilo Horn; auctex Subject: Re: [AUCTeX] OT: Have a look at PDF Tools (new PDF viewer for Emacs) Hi Tassilo & Lars, 2015-02-05 8:06 GMT+01:00 Tassilo Horn <t...@gnu.org>: > Mosè Giordano <m...@gnu.org> writes: >> When using forward/backward search in TeXstudio with its embedded >> viewer, you are direct to the exact word selected, not just the line. >> I wonder if it's possible to implement such a feature also for AUCTeX >> and pdf-tools. > > I just edebugged the relevant function `pdf-sync-correlate-tex', and it > returns a list (file line column), so the answer is yes.

I don't have a clue, as far as I know SyncTeX only potentially supports column numbers, but actually always return a not-really-useful number, as you pointed out. 2015-02-05 9:43 GMT+01:00 Lars Madsen <dal...@math.au.dk>: > Mosè, exactly which version of TeXStudio has the feature to direct you to the > exact word? I have TeXstudio 2.8.0, but this feature is mentioned already in ChangeLog for version 2.3: http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/manual/current/usermanual_en.html#SECTIONNEW23 Bye, Mosè _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
