That's an interesting guess.
Although it's flaky. E.g., if the word is the, then the chances are
high there are multiple occurences in a line. Maybe taking the current
word at click-position + the next N words (and then searching so that
space also matches \n) might work. But that will fail in situations
where the click-pos is hello world but the actual tex text is hello
\texttt{world}.
If you want, you can play with those suggestions in TeXStudio to see if

Yes.

Right now, when double-clicking in _region_.pdf, you jump to the correct location in _region_.tex. It would be nice if you jumped to the location in the real source tex file. I've already implemented that for Evince, so it'll probably be not too hard to do. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that right now. I've written a feature request. IMO, it seems to be better to implement that in PDF Tools instead of AUCTeX as the basic backward search is there anyway. https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/36 Bye, Tassilo ___ auctex mailing list auctex@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
Re: [AUCTeX] OT: Have a look at PDF Tools (new PDF viewer for Emacs)
Mosè, exactly which version of TeXStudio has the feature to direct you to the exact word? I'll like to see that. AFAIK pdfsync only looks at line numbers, thus TeXMaker and TeXStudio usually have a problem in the backwards sync because they tend to use soft line breaks (I think) and not the hard ones Emacs uses. Thus Emacs is usually much more precise. So if TeXStudio have upped the ante, I'd like to see 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: auctex-bounces+daleif=math.au...@gnu.org [auctex-bounces+daleif=math.au...@gnu.org] on behalf of Mosè Giordano [m...@gnu.org] Sent: 04 February 2015 21:48 To: Tassilo Horn Cc: auctex Subject: Re: [AUCTeX] OT: Have a look at PDF Tools (new PDF viewer for Emacs) Hi Tassilo, 2015-02-04 21:00 GMT+01:00 Tassilo Horn t...@gnu.org: Hi all, just in case you didn't already know PDF Tools https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools you might want to give it a whirl.

In particular, is it possible for this name to be the evaluation of (file-name-base buffer-file-name), possibly copied in antother directory? Maybe Latexmk could be helpful for this. The main advantage for me is ease of searching and refactoring.

I guess all the references, citations, etc. have then to be recomputed... The reftex-*-document commands don't even have bindings afaics.
