I have already opened and issue in vimtex on github, however, this is more of a Zathura problem.

I am trying to exploit this latest vimtex functionality VimtexInverseSearch for Zathura to open current vim in terminal instead of gvim (which I rarely use). There have been some partial hacks like this before. But with VimtexInverseSearch this can be neatly done. Based on vimtex help (:h vimtex-synctex-inverse-search), I first tried this:

set synctex-editor-command "vim --remote-silent -v --not-a-term -T dumb -c 'VimtexInverseSearch %{line} %{input}'"

This opens following buffers:

• -v
• --not-a-term
• -T
• dumb
• -c
• VimtexInverseSearch 68 /run/media/path/to/file.tex

it clearly do not parse after vim --remote-silent as vim options, however this works:

set synctex-editor-command "vim -c 'VimtexInverseSearch %{line} %{input}'"

Is there a way, so I could send whole vim --remote-silent --not-aterm -T dubmb -c as command? It seems zathura only take one command and one options.
