Hi, I recently noticed an amazing feature in Skim that I was unaware of (didn't see it explained anywhere in the manual or wiki)
If you have a pdf file with hyperlinks (such as one created from a LaTeX file using the hyperref package) then when you hover the cursor over a link to another place in the file (e.g. an equation or bibliographic reference), without clicking, then you a small window appears showing the contents of the link (e.g. the equation or bibliographic reference). This is a very nice feature since it can avoid having to click and then hop back (which you could do with Cmd+ [ say). This way you can see the relevant material without jumping out of the context, which is very useful in some cases. But I have some questions regarding the way it works and its consistency. Sometimes I can't get the link to pull up the little preview window. Other times the same link just works fine. I don't know if it is some parameter or setting in the hover detection or what. It seems as if Skim "checks out" of the link-preview mode and then at some point checks back into it. Is there any key-click combination that can substitute for it to be able to guarantee a preview window showing? Or any other way to guarantee getting this link-preview? I just love it and after discovering would really want to use it intensively if I could. -Ivan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
