[Tex/LaTex] Kate editor, Okular, synctex: how to forward search pdf document

editorsforward-inverse-search

Inverse search of a compiled file with -syntex=1 option is trivial: you just choose Configure -> Editor -> Kate option from Okular -> Settings menu, then use Shift-Click on your favorite line of the pdf file.

What about the forward search? How am I supposed to make Okular show a screen with a particular line pointed to in the Kate editor? Or in an abstract source editor, for that matter. No amount of search shows any clue.

It just works in some LaTeX IDEs, of course, but what is under the hood?

Best Answer

To forward search with Texstudio and Okular, use this:

okular --unique %.pdf#src:@?a./?c:r./?c:m.tex
