[feature request]Synchornization with PDF (forward and backward search) #18

Open tgenewein opened 8 years ago

tgenewein commented 8 years ago

1.) Compile with synctex to allow synchronization between the editor and the output (which should be fairly easy).

2.) Then, there are two modes: -) Jump from current line in the editor to corresponding line/paragraph in the PDF (and ideally highlight the line with a colored box or similar) -) Jump from the current line in the PDF to the corresponding line/paragraph/block in the editor

I guess the implementation will depend on the specific PDF viewer and it will probably be tricky to support a broad range of viewers, but some packages from ST and Atom should give some hints to support at least one viewer (Sumatra PDF seems to work quite well if I remember correctly).
