Synctex across multiple windows

[dgomezcastro]

While the synctex options works nicely in a single window, when the .tex file is moved to a new window it is no longer recognized, and a new one is open is opened in the window the pdf is at.

This would be a very useful tool for typesetting latex, since having a pdf in one computer screen and the file on the other is interesting. This is done best by placing an atom window in each computer screen.

Thanks for the feedback, @dgomezcastro :bow: -- that does sound helpful. I probably won't have time to look into that myself in the near future, but if someone else wants to open a pull request -- I'd be happy to review and merge 👍

I'd really love this too. I just realized that the atom-latex package opens pdf-view in a new window. I don't know how it achieves that but looking at their git repo I see that they have a folder with "pdf-viewer improvements". Maybe you could use these improvements to make the pdf-viewer able to un-dock from the main atom window?

Same here I have a dual monitor setup and would be great to have the pdf on the second monitor

Likewise! Right now I use TeXstudio and have the PDF viewer detached and on a vertical monitor. Being able to do the same with atom would be fantastic!

Any updates of this feature? I am looking forward to it.
