[Vim-latex-devel] Using Forward Search with xdvi

[Rüdiger K. <rue...@gm...>]

hi everybody,

i have problems using forward search, when i use the xdvi viewer with further options.
i'm using Latex-Suite: version 1.8.23 together with vim version 7.1.314
the latex part of my vim.rc is:

let g:tex_flavor='latex'
let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'xdvi -fullscreen -hush -hushstdout -s 6'
let g:Tex_MultipleCompileFormats = 'dvi'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi = 'latex --src-specials -interaction=nonstopmode $*'

the problem appears if xdvi is used as viewer with any option.
when i edit a latex file and typ \ls nothing happens, one the other hand \lv works as desired.

i figured out that in the file
.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/compile.vim
in the function Tex_ForwardSearchLatex()
there is defined the variable viewer:

        let viewer = Tex_GetVarValue('Tex_ViewRule_'.s:target)

later on the variable viewer is compared to "xdvi", cleary if viewer has the value "xdvi -option" it is not recognised as "xdvi".

i would suggest to cut the first word out of the variable viewer and use this for the comparisons with "xdvi"

regards,
ruediger

Hi,

I also had this problem in the past and I've worked around it by putting the 
xdvi options I want into my .Xdefaults instead of changing Tex_ViewRule_dvi. 
The entries look as follows:

xdvi.Hush:			True
xdvi.shrinkFactor:	5
xdvi.expertMode:	0
[...]

All the options are listed and explained in the man page for xdvi. But I agree 
that fixing this in the source would be desirable.

Regards,
Philipp

Good point. I just committed a change to the git repository that
should do exactly that. I did a quick test with xdvi, but it wasn't
exhaustive.

See if the change works for you.

This is a very similar problem to the one I posted about yap in
windows. Probably makes sense to have a similar approach.
