The major part of the patch has already been applied for some time but was not usable at all. I've started to implement the remaining bits. The current progress can be seen in the branch feature/synctex. zathura has gained a new command line argument --syntex-forward. If zathura is called as 'zathura --syntex-forward ', zathura will search for a running instance having the file open and it will send to the that instance. is of the same format as the argument passed to syntex view -i. (Note that currently needs to be an absolut path. I'll fix that in the feature.) I've also commited a first ftplugin for vim (tex_zathurasynctex.vim). With this plugin enabled f will perform a forward sync. The detection of the correct probably needs some love (it currently tries a function provided by latex-suite and some heuristic to determine by checking the available syntex data). Any comments are very welcome (expecially regarding the vim plugin). Regards -- Sebastian Ramacher ___ zathura mailing list zathura@lists.pwmt.org http://lists.pwmt.org/mailman/listinfo/zathura
Re: [zathura] [PATCH] synctex forward synchronization
First of all thanks for the patch and I'm sorry that I didn't have the time to look at the patch yet.

What about a dbus interface? Apparently there is a Glib binding for dbus. The editor could send the messages to zathura via dbus-send. Another possibility would be an XML-RPC interface but I didn't check if there are any good and easy-to-use libraries for that.
