Okular inverse search - automatically activate LyX

[Joon Ro]

Hi,

It seems the inverse search from Okular only moves the cursor to the corresponding position in LyX, but it does not activate the LyX window. So I made the following script:

lyxclient -g $1 $2
wmctrl -a LyX

save it (here "/home/yourname/okular_inverse_search" for example), and in Configure Okular -> Editor, select Custom Text Editor, and put the following:

bash /home/yourname/okular_inverse_search %f %l

Now when you shift-right click on a line in Okular, it will do inverse search and then activate LyX automatically.

Of course, you have to have wmctrl installed.

Hope this is useful to somebody. :)
