Something like this is very useful when I open up a PDF viewer from my editor (Vim of course). I'd like to have one mapping that opens a PDF (if it's not already open) and then syncs to the current location. However, this functionality can be trivially added with a little scripting. See here: http://wiki.math.cmu.edu/iki/wiki/tips/20140310-zathura-fsearch.html GI PS: Thanks a ton for implementing forward searches. I finally was able to abandon Xdvi, and now do everything with PDF files. -- 'Common' Proof Techniques: 6. Proof by Similarity -- "The other 253 cases are analogous"
