[Okular-devel] reverse search

[Jan Kaspar]

Hi Pino,

thanks for reply. Great that the inverse search is there! I tried it with
version 0.7 and in fact it is almost impossible to hit it. I've been
clicking like mad for couple of minutes and only twice I managed to get the
Kate opened. I guess this is the issue you mentioned in your reply. If I may
suggest, look at xdvi, there the reverse search works pretty well. It also
has a possibility to configure the editor/command to be used for reverse
search. They have a nice web page with settings for the most popular
editors:
http://xdvi.sourceforge.net/inverse-search.html

There is one more thing I'd like to ask for. The old kdvi was displaying the
current (under the mouse) source special in the status bar. I find this very
useful. In (La)TeX one gives symbolic names to equations, tables, etc. to
refer to them. And those symbolic names can be conveniently shown as source
specials and quickly looked up with the use of a DVI previewer. Do you think
that this could be implemented too?

Many thanks, Kašpi.
