This has been asked before and there is no intention to implement this.
txs offers preview feature on lines which are updated as you type.
Also latexmk -pvc
recompiles on every save, so that basically already does what you want.
Describe the feature and the current behavior/state
I would like to request a real-time typesetting feature to TeXstudio. Currently, users need to manually compile their LaTeX documents to view the updated output, which can be time-consuming for large or complex documents. Real-time typesetting would automatically update the typeset output in real-time as the user makes changes to the LaTeX code, providing a more interactive and efficient editing experience.
Who will benefit with this feature?
This feature would greatly benefit all LaTeX users, particularly those who work on large or complex documents. Some benefits include:
Any Other info
Real-time typesetting has been successfully implemented in other LaTeX editors like Texifier (previously known as TexPad). Incorporating this feature into TeXstudio would make it more competitive, attract a broader user base, and enhance its usability as a powerful and user-friendly LaTeX editing tool.
While initially focusing on basic editing functionalities, such as adding simple paragraphs and math equations, I believe it would be beneficial to have a long-term vision of gradually expanding real-time typesetting support to encompass a wide range of LaTeX functions. This would significantly enhance the editing experience and make TeXstudio an even more powerful LaTeX editing tool.
Thank you for considering this feature request, which I believe would significantly improve the editing experience in TeXstudio.
