First of all: links are mostly handeled by Apple's PDFKit. Moreover, PDF has many different types of links (and I don't just mean internal or external). For example, you can get different types of links depending in the package and/or precise command you use. Alos, are you running Tiger or

Unfortunately simply left clicking on a link of any kind does nothing for me. I agree that would certainly be very logical :) Perhaps my installation of Skim is broken. Could anyone confirm that left clicking jumps to an external link? On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 5:06 PM, Christiaan Hofman <[EMAIL PR

It works with me consistently with internal links. I tried this will a pdf I created with LaTeX using the hyperref package. If I click on a reference I am taken to the reference. If I Command click I get a preview. However, only about half of the URLs I click on open in my browser... Strange.

The current way of activating internal link through command+click opens a small preview window. Which can be useful for a quick glance, but it is not possible to activate inverse search within the preview window. This is a must for Latex usage and is absolutely maddening.

Skim's ability to go into highlighting/underlining/text note etc mode and stay there gets you half way to what you want. If you combine it with a macro program (eg QuicKeys) and a programmable mouse, you can get pretty close to what you propose. I have one of my mouse buttons set up to trig

Innovative maybe? No, it is not standard, but actually not original. Take for example LyX which enables one to repeat the last font change. Think of mouse gestures. Combine the two ideas. The whole idea of good anotating software is that it can make anotating as effortless as it is to do on

Hi, I'm new to Skim, but already love it. One feature I think would be very helpful: To push last called macro/function on a middle mouse click. eg. If you are going through a document highlighting text, on the first occurrence you would select the text to be highlighted and then highlight
