[Vim-latex-devel] Forward search with sumatrapdf

[Jorge R. <sk...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I previously thought it was necessary to patch vim-latex in order to
have forward search when using sumatrapdf in windows, but
after checking the options of sumatrapdf I realize that it is much
easier. I just defined a function:

 function! MyForwardSearch()
    let target = 'main.pdf'
    let cmd = g:SumatraPdfLoc .  " -reuse-instance -forward-search " .
expand('%:p') . " " . line('.') . " " . target
    let execString = 'silent! !start ' . cmd
    exe execString
  endfunction
  nnoremap <Leader>la :<C-U>call MyForwardSearch()<CR>

here
g:SumatraPdfLoc is a string to where sumatra is located "c:\....\sumatrapdf.exe"
target is the pdf that is produced

I couldn't find a way of doing this directly with vim-latex without
defining this function and mapping.
Would it be possible to incorporate similar changes to this directly
into vim-latex or vim-latex already supports this and I have something
wrong with my configuration?


Thanks,

Jorge
