Setting up forward/inverse Synctex search with supplementary tex files #13
Description
Hi,
First of all thank you for creating this plugin, I was struggling to set up synctex on neovim properly and this just works!
I am using the default pdf reader Sioyek and synctex works in both forward and reverse directions when I am editing a single tex file. I am having issues however when I have a more complicated tex document with supplementary tex files. To be more clear I have a project structure like follows:
doc
├── chapters
│ ├── chapter_1
│ │ ├── intro.tex
│ │ └── summary.tex
│ └── chapter_2
│ ├── intro.tex
│ └── summary.tex
└── main.tex
When I open main.tex in neovim and toggle knap autopreview with <F7> the document opens and I can use both forward and reverse search. However, if I go to a part of the pdf in Sioyek which was included in the main document via \input{chapters/chapter_1/intro.tex} and try to right-click to do an inverse search it does not jump to the appropriate file and instead neovim just prints something like:
jump spot at line 5 col 0 in /path/to/docs/./chapters/chatper_1/intro.tex
I cannot understand how to fix this from the docs. Also if I open the file chapters/chapter_1/intro.tex in neovim after launching the autopreview from main.tex and I press <F7> again then I can successfully use reverse search by pressing <F4> in Sioyek and right-clicking. However, now I cannot forward search from the supplementary file using <F8>, neovim prints out Viewer not currently active.
I have put on the top of my supplementary file % TeX root = ../../main.tex.
Is there a way to fix these issues?
These are my settings for knap:
local gknapsettings = {
texoutputext = "pdf",
textopdf = "pdflatex -interaction=batchmode -halt-on-error -synctex=1 %docroot%",
-- textopdf = "pdflatex -jobname \"$(basename -s .pdf %outputfile%)\" -halt-on-error",
textopdfviewerlaunch = "/home/yanni/Applications/Sioyek-x86_64_2df5964a856fc1f662dd4663896aeb21.AppImage --inverse-search 'nvim --headless -es --cmd \"lua require('\"'\"'knaphelper'\"'\"').relayjump('\"'\"'%servername%'\"'\"','\"'\"'%1'\"'\"',%2,%3)\"' --reuse-instance %outputfile%",
textopdfviewerrefresh = "none",
textopdfforwardjump = "/home/yanni/Applications/Sioyek-x86_64_2df5964a856fc1f662dd4663896aeb21.AppImage --inverse-search 'nvim --headless -es --cmd \"lua require('\"'\"'knaphelper'\"'\"').relayjump('\"'\"'%servername%'\"'\"','\"'\"'%1'\"'\"',%2,%3)\"' --reuse-instance --forward-search-file %srcfile% --forward-search-line %line% %outputfile%",
textopdfshorterror = "A=%outputfile% ; LOGFILE=\"${A%.pdf}.log\" ; rubber-info \"$LOGFILE\" 2>&1 | head -n 1",
-- textopdfbufferasstdin = true,
delay = 250
}
vim.g.knap_settings = gknapsettings
and my keymaps are the default ones suggested:
-- F5 processes the document once, and refreshes the view
vim.keymap.set('i','<F5>', function() require("knap").process_once() end)
vim.keymap.set('v','<F5>', function() require("knap").process_once() end)
vim.keymap.set('n','<F5>', function() require("knap").process_once() end)
-- F6 closes the viewer application, and allows settings to be reset
vim.keymap.set('i','<F6>', function() require("knap").close_viewer() end)
vim.keymap.set('v','<F6>', function() require("knap").close_viewer() end)
vim.keymap.set('n','<F6>', function() require("knap").close_viewer() end)
-- F7 toggles the auto-processing on and off
vim.keymap.set('i','<F7>', function() require("knap").toggle_autopreviewing() end)
vim.keymap.set('v','<F7>', function() require("knap").toggle_autopreviewing() end)
vim.keymap.set('n','<F7>', function() require("knap").toggle_autopreviewing() end)
-- F8 invokes a SyncTeX forward search, or similar, where appropriate
vim.keymap.set('i','<F8>', function() require("knap").forward_jump() end)
vim.keymap.set('v','<F8>', function() require("knap").forward_jump() end)
vim.keymap.set('n','<F8>', function() require("knap").forward_jump() end)
