--- Comment #1 from Patrick Massot <patrickmassot at free.fr> ---
It seems this is still not fixed in 1.0.3 and I see nothing indicating it's
fixed in git master branch.

I don't know anything about C but, if it were python, this would be a ten
minutes fix, so I guess it can't be much more than an hour of work to make
reverse-search actually usable in Okular. In its current state it's usable only
provided you have exactly one instance of the target editor opened, or else you
need to go to the preference dialog each time you open okular. Indeed, how
Okular could know which editor instance to communicate with?

Maybe we should be more explicit: what is needed is a command line flag
allowing to set the value of what is currently in the preference dialog
OkularSettings/editor/command.

It would be a great addition to Okular's greatness.
