Use Cmd-Shift-Click to mark the text fragment around the clicked word in LyX. The LyX wiki mentions the arguments for the Skim part with osascript. This is required with LyX 2.3 to get the LyX window frontmost at the same time. The lyxeditor script is part of the application bundle LyX on mac.

Re: Syncing skim with LyX
Hi Ehud, Do you have a file called "lyxeditor.cmd" in lyx's bin folder? I'm not sure it is delivered with lyx installation. If not, create one with the content specified at the Okular section from the link you have sent (see attached photo).

Re: Syncing skim with LyX
With the help of Stephan Witt and Udicoudco, I am now using Skim to open the pdf files produced by LyX. But I want to add SyncTeX to that. I configured LyX and Skim according to what is written in the wiki page (https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX) but I am not sure if everything is set up correctly or no, since I don't know how to initiate SyncTeX to work. I double clicked a word of text in Skim and nothing happened (no change of active window to LyX). How does one uses SyncTeX with skim? Thanks very much for your help! --- Original Message --- On Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at 11:22 PM, Ehud Behar wrote: > I am using macOS and until now, after compiling the lyx file (to tex and > then) to a pdf file, the output was opened by the default pdf viewer (macOS > Preview, on my computer). > > I want to use the pdf viewer "Skim" to open the compiled pdf, with mainly the > advantage that there are no page jumps after making changes to the document. > > What are the steps needed to change this in LyX in order to implement skim as > the pdf viewer? > > The closest thing I came across until now is appendix C in the User manual, > section File Handling, and section 3 in the customization manual, "The > Preferences dialog". > > It was a first reading and I haven't grasped everything, but at the moment I > am not sure if my answer is covered there at all. > > Therefore my question is if those are the places to look at all, and if > someone can maybe redirect me to a short guide for that?-- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Syncing skim with LyX
I don't export to tex and then to pdf, I said that just to clarify that .lyx is one type of a file extension, .tex is another one, and .pdf is yet another file.. By the way, what does the $$i option that you added to "open -a Skim.app" do? With the help of the other members my LyX is set to the first way you described. Thanks very much. --- Original Message --- On Tuesday, July 19th, 2022 at 11:19 PM, Dr Eberhard W Lisse wrote: > > > Ehud, > > First of all why compile to tex and then to pdf, instead of doing this > directly? > > > There are however (at least) two ways of doing this: > > First look in the > > Document > > pulldown for > > View [PDF (LuaTeX)] > > can be also > > [PDF (pdflatex)] > > which is tied (in my case) to CMD-R > > > Then in > > Perferences -> File Handling -> File Formats -> Format: > > > look for > > [PDF (LuaTeX)] > > and set > > Viewer: [Custom] [open -a Skim.app $$i] > > click > > Apply > > and perhaps do same for > > [PDF (pdflatex)] > > > You can also select an PDF in the finder and then enter > > CMD-I > > which will open a window with lots of information and you usually would > find > > Open With: ... > > showing > > Preview. > > You can change that in the Pulldown to Skim for this (single) file or > for all files, so that double clicking on a PDF will open it with skim, > and the default method of opening PDFs in Skim would also change to > skim. > > I do the latter, as I use skim for almost every PDF. > > greetings, el > > > > On 2022-07-17 00:22 , Ehud Behar via lyx-users wrote: > > > I am using macOS and until now, after compiling the lyx file (to tex and > > > then) to a pdf file, the output was opened by the default pdf viewer > > > (macOS Preview, on my computer). > > > I want to use the pdf viewer "Skim" to open the compiled pdf, with > > > mainly the advantage that there are no page jumps after making changes > > > to the document. > > > What are the steps needed to change this in LyX in order to implement > > > skim as the pdf viewer? > > > The closest thing I came across until now is appendix C in the User > > > manual, section File Handling, and section 3 in the customization > > > manual, "The Preferences dialog". > > > It was a first reading and I haven't grasped everything, but at the > > > moment I am not sure if my answer is covered there at all. > > > Therefore my question is if those are the places to look at all, and if > > > someone can maybe redirect me to a short guide for that? > > > -- > lyx-users mailing list > lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Syncing skim with LyX
Ehud, First of all why compile to tex and then to pdf, instead of doing this directly? There are however (at least) two ways of doing this: First look in the Document pulldown for View [PDF (LuaTeX)] can be also [PDF (pdflatex)] which is tied (in my case) to CMD-R Then in Perferences -> File Handling -> File Formats -> Format: look for [PDF (LuaTeX)] and set Viewer: [Custom] [open -a Skim.app $$i] click Apply and perhaps do same for [PDF (pdflatex)] You can also select an PDF in the finder and then enter CMD-I which will open a window with lots of information and you usually would find Open With: ... showing Preview. You can change that in the Pulldown to Skim for this (single) file or for all files, so that double clicking on a PDF will open it with skim, and the default method of opening PDFs in Skim would also change to skim. I do the latter, as I use skim for almost every PDF. greetings, el On 2022-07-17 00:22 , Ehud Behar via lyx-users wrote: > I am using macOS and until now, after compiling the lyx file (to tex and > then) to a pdf file, the output was opened by the default pdf viewer > (macOS Preview, on my computer). > > I want to use the pdf viewer "Skim" to open the compiled pdf, with > mainly the advantage that there are no page jumps after making changes > to the document. > > What are the steps needed to change this in LyX in order to implement > skim as the pdf viewer? > > The closest thing I came across until now is appendix C in the User > manual, section File Handling, and section 3 in the customization > manual, "The Preferences dialog". > > It was a first reading and I haven't grasped everything, but at the > moment I am not sure if my answer is covered there at all. > > Therefore my question is if those are the places to look at all, and if > someone can maybe redirect me to a short guide for that? > -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
