Hi,
I'm a new skim user, trying to set up synctex support for reverse search. I
have previously used Sumatra PDF on windows, wich required custom synctex
config, so I am familiar with the basic concepts. However, nothing happens
when i command-shift-click in my pdf. How should I proceed with
troubleshooting?
What I have done:
I am running Sonoma 14.6.1
Skim version 1.7.8
VSCode 1.69.4
```latex
%minimal.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello, World!
\end{document}
```
compiling with `pdflatex -synctex=1 minimal.tex`
verifying that a `minimal.synctex.gz` was generated.
Opening `minimal.pdf` in skim via the GUI.
Opening settings > sync > select vs code
Close the dialog.
command+shift+click in the document. Nothing happens.
I tried replacing the sync command with `tput` and the argument `bel`,
since that produces a bell sound when run in my terminal. No sound is made
when command+shift+clicking in the pdf.
I also tried running the command `open vscode://file"/the full path to
minimal.tex":2` in my terminal, which worked great for opening vscode
It seems to me like skim don't process the command+shift+click properly.
How should I proceed to get synctex to work?
Best Ragards,

ps. the wiki
https://sourceforge.net/p/skim-app/wiki/TeX_and_PDF_Synchronization/
discuss synctex as something included in 'new' technology like texlive
2008. I would argue that this is not that 'new' anymore.
