Something like this is very useful when I open up a PDF viewer from my
editor (Vim of course). I'd like to have one mapping that opens a PDF
(if it's not already open) and then syncs to the current location.
However, this functionality can be trivially added with a little
scripting. See here:

PS: Thanks a ton for implementing forward searches. I finally was able
to abandon Xdvi, and now do everything with PDF files.

Hi,
after some playing and searching the internet I was able to use zathura
synctex support, by opening a file:
zathura -s -x 'gvim --servername SYNCTEX --remote +\%{line} \%{input}'
Introduction_en.pdf
and switching to the specified line:
zathura --synctex-forward 100:1:/Introduction_en.tex
Introduction_en.pdf
If I try to combine these two commands I get an error saying that the
opened instance for Introduction_en.pdf is not found.
I wonder why this distinction is made? Is there a way to open zathura
and
sync if file is not opened, or simply sync if the opened instance
exists?
It's just that nobody had any use for anything like that yet so it's
just not
there - doing anything after a document has been opened was always a
pain to
time right. But if there's interest in something like that, we can fix
that.
Cheers

It's just that nobody had any use for anything like that yet so it's just not
there - doing anything after a document has been opened was always a pain to
time right. But if there's interest in something like that, we can fix that.
