Understanding the behaviour of :VimtexInverseSearch

centipedesquad commented 1 week ago

Description

I use reverse search in my neovim + skim setup. My latex file are folded by default and the folds are set to open automatically by a jump action. However, while the inverse search works and the cursor “jumps” to the correct line, it doesn't unfold the code. Hence, the cursor stays in the first line of the folded group.

Here is the relevant section of my init file:

vim.opt.foldmethod = "indent"  -- Set fold method to indent
vim.opt.foldlevel = 1
vim.opt.foldclose = "all"   -- Automatically close folds when leaving, comment    ed out as per your Vimscript
vim.opt.foldopen = { "block", "insert", "jump", "mark", "quickfix", "search",     "tag", "undo" }

Steps to reproduce

<C-S> + leftclick on some region of the pdf
The cursor returns to the first line of the folded group containing the relevant line

Expected behavior

The cursor to return to the correct line inside the folded group with the code unfolded.

Actual behavior

No response

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

No

You can specify to unfold by attaching to an event. Read :help vimtex-events for the relevant docs. Here is an example that I think should for with Lua; you can put the code where you put your regular VimTeX configuration.

local au_group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("vimtex_events", {})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  group = au_group,
  pattern = "VimtexEventViewReverse",
  command = "normal! zMzvzz"
})
