[Vim-latex-devel] Forward search in pdf on Mac OS X

[Michail V. <ma...@ia...>]

Dear All,

there is a PDFView program, that supports pdfsync.
It is possible to use the feature from vim-latex.
On \ls PDFView jumps to the correct page.
Backward serach does not work, since
vim lacks remote control capability on Mac.

Just FUI.

May be there are better solutions?

I have the following ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim
----------
function! Tex_ForwardSearchLaTeX()
 	if &ft != 'tex'
 		echo "calling Tex_ViewLaTeX from a non-tex file"
 		return
 	end

 	let mainfnameRoot = fnamemodify(Tex_GetMainFileName(), ':p:r')


 	let execString = 'silent! !osascript -e  '''.
 		\ "tell application \"PDFView\"  \\\n".
        		\ " display tex line ".line('.')." of file \"".mainfnameRoot.".pdf\" \\\n".
      		\ "end tell".
 		\ ''' &'

 	call Tex_Debug("Tex_ForwardSearchLaTeX: execString = ".execString, "comp")
 	execute execString
 	if !has('gui_running')
 		redraw!
 	endif

endfunction

let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = 'PDFView'

----------

  Sincerely, Michail
