Re: [Vim-latex-devel] Forward search with okular

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello Peter,

  I think the problem is resolved now. The clue was in the line:
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode $*'

instead of which I had

let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = "/usr/local/bin/latexmk -e '$pdflatex=q/pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -file-line-error -halt-on-error -synctex=1/' -pdf -bibtex $*"

coming from one of your posts. I think the synctex option was missing 
most. Now the forward search works.

Though, I had one more problem: both the forward and backward searches 
always launched a new instance of viewer / gvim. To resolve this, I have 
searched some older mailing list archives and modified my .vimrc lines as 
follows:

let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = 'okular --unique'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode $* -inverse-search "gvim --servername GVIM --remote +\%l \%f"'

These options enforce the use of already running okular / gvim, hopefully 
this will help somebody. I wonder why these options are not included in 
the latest vim-latex version which I had installed. The only detail still 
remaining is that the windows don't get the KDE focus, I am not sure this 
has a solution.
