Ok, but why is it needed?
Either you’re not using pdflatex or you didn’t do the first step of my recipe
(enable the „synchronize with output“ option in preferences).

1. You have to enable the „synchronize with output“ option in preferences.
2. Compile the document and wait for Skim to open.
3. Use the LyX menu item for Forward search.
4. Skim should raise and highlight the current LyX cursor position
Beware: the is one question by Mac OS (only once!) you have to agree:
If this works backward search is probably working too.

Ok, it should work. Let’s see how to find the problem with your setup.
First, it’s not needed to make some selection in LyX to get forward-search
working.
After doing the pdflatex run (you’re using pdflatex too, are you?) you can
check the LaTeX log file and there is a button „Open Containing Directory“.
Please open it and check the generated TeX file for the line with "\synctex=-1“
and a file named like your document plus .synctex.gz
I made the experiment and it looks like that:

Well, it doesn't work. I mean you should use Command-Shift-Click (mouse click with Command and Shift key pressed) in Skim. With synctex enabled the PDF-output has special markers to identify the TeX source code line of the TeX source files matching the PDF-text. The position of the mouse click in Skim is used by Skim to lookup the current TeX source code line of the TeX source file. This information is passed to LyX with the help of the lyxeditor script. In case of a match in LyX with a document in any window of LyX the match is selected. On a Mac the LyX application is not raised top-most by itself. The osascript is used to raise the LyX application window. BR, Stephan > I am attaching a screenshot of skim prefs.

Re: Syncing skim with LyX
Thanks a lot. At the moment I am trying to get SyncTeX working on macOS. I don't have a folder with the name "bin" in "/Applications/LyX.app/Contents". I do have such folder in Program files in windows. I rather prefer Sumatra as the pdf viewer, not Okular.

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
