Neovim and Zathura: no inverse search

[Tyrn]

Description

With Neovim (AstroNvim) I have forward search, but not the inverse one. My ~/.latexmkrc:

$pdf_mode = 1;
$pdflatex = 'xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1';

~/.config/nvim/lua/user/plugins/vimtex.lua:

return {
  -- VImTex configuration
  {
    "lervag/vimtex",
    init = function()
      vim.g.tex_flavor = "latex"
      vim.g.vimtex_view_method = "zathura"
      -- :wvim.g.vimtex_view_general_viewer = "zathura"
      -- vim.g.vimtex_view_general_options = "--unique file:@pdf#src:@line@tex"
      -- vim.g.vimtex_view_general_options_latexmk = '--unique'
      -- vim.g.vimtex_compiler_progname = "nvr"
      vim.g.vimtex_compiler_method = "latexmk"
      vim.g.vimtex_compiler_latexmk = {
        background = 1,
        continuous = 1,
      }
    end,
    event = "BufRead",
    keys = { ... }
  },
}

~/.config/zathura/zathurarc is empty now; I tried to put a lot of things from somebody's else configs, but to no effect whatever.

What I can tell:

1. Okular solution works, including the inverse search.
2. With Zathura forward search works, whatever changes I try.
3. :VimtexInfo shows exactly what one should expect, I suppose.
4. For unsuccessful inverse search with Zathura I use Ctrl+Left Click.

What else should I check?

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

Yes

VimtexInfo

Please remove this line:

    event = "BufRead",

You should not lazy load VimTeX (or any plugin, really, if you don't know what you are doing!). I've tried to make it clear in the README, here: https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/fe20ab1bd82a23441ac55054afefcd60001947a2/README.md?plain=1#L64-L69.

Yes, it occurred to me. I tried to remove event = "BufRead", it just disconnected everything. Seconds ago, I added lazy=false, and it helped.

return {
  -- VImTex configuration
  {
    "lervag/vimtex",
    lazy = false,
    init = function()
      vim.g.tex_flavor = "latex"
      vim.g.vimtex_view_method = "zathura"
...

Is it good and proper?

[lervag]

Ah, yes, that looks good. lazy.nvim does not have lazy = true by default, though, so either this is set to default by your distro or you did so yourself. So, again, be warned that you should know what you are doing when you lazy load plugins. ;)
