After reading the man zathurarc
for the map command, I still don't know how to remap an existing keybinding. By "remapping", I mean replacing a current keymapping for a given action.
Problem:
<C-Button1>
(Control + click) is currently mapped to the synctex backward search, with the following settings in my zathurarc
config file:
set dbus-service true # Already the default
set synctex true # Already the default
set synctex-editor-command "gvim --servername GVIMTEX --remote +%{line} %{input}"
However, I don't like using the mouse, so I want to map the synctex action to, say <C-s>
.
Trials
I tried the following line in my zathurarc:
map <C-s> feedkeys "<C-Button1>"
It doesn't work and shows "open n1>
" in the inputbar.
Alternative ideas
I could also map <C-s>
to the shortcut_function for synctex, if only I knew what it was…
Complains
I find that there is too few information in the zathura documentation.
For example I would like to know:
- how to list all current key bindings (that would help not to override current mappings…)
- how to use the
feedkeys
function, because it is nowhere in my documentation, and I don't know from which version it was available (I have Ubuntu 16.04 and zathura 0.3.5). - what is the shortcut_function used for synctex. Is there one?
Could anyone show me how to use <C-s>
instead of <C-Button1>
?
Best Answer
A bit late to the party, but using xdotool to do the ctrl click did the job for me. I wrote this short bash script (also found here zathura_backward_search.sh):
Place this on your path,
chmod +x
it, and execute it in zathura using:exec zathura_backward_search.sh
. Alternatively you can map<C-s>
to this script usingmap <C-s> exec ctrl_click_center_window.sh
in yourzathurarc
. It is a bit slow (and could probably be made faster), but works nonetheless.
