what do you think about implementing a fullscreen presentation mode in which zathura can be used with arrow keys for navigating?

I've wrote a little patch to enable fullscreen and with another commit I added a own mode for it, so it is possible to overwrite the arrow keys. The problem is that our provider has currently some problems, so you will have to wait till it is up again to get the patch.

Best regards

Hello,

OK, the site is up and running again and I pushed the commits into the repository.

Best regards

Thank you for implementing this feature that quickly.

I looked into the manual but didn't find any information how I can use this mode.

Could you please explain it briefly?

I forgot to update the manpage. Just press F5 and zathura will jump into fullscreen mode,
where you can use the cursors and the spacebar to navigate.

tvale / hiato: Please check out the latest git version and let me know if the problem still exists.

Best regards

^neldoreth,

thank you it's working great but I'd like to bring up some more points.

1) You can navigate forward in normal mode via space key. Is that desired or should it only work in fullscreen mode?
2) What's the best way to open encrypted pdf's with zathura? When I open it I get the message to use :set password PASSWORD. But after doing this I have to open it again with :open. Or is there a faster way to simply reload it after I'd typed in the password?

Once again thanks for your great work.

Regards

No, I added this some time ago for normal mode too.

./zathura file password or ":set password password" and ":open file". Another way is to use the arrow keys to navigate through the command history, so you won't have to type it in again. But I have an idea now of an password dialog.

Hello,

I pushed a "enter password dialog".

Best regards

This is awesome. Great work man. *thumbs up*

It works. Thanks, sorry for not being very helpful but I haven't got much free time at the moment.
Say, out of curiosity, what was the "problem"?

By the way, I have a friend who has a similar setup (xmonad, xcompmgr, etc) and he also had the same problem with 0.0.4.

-- EDIT --
Just checked the "fixed cmd_open" commit, gtk_show_widget(...). I suppose that's it.

Exactly - To be honest at first I could not reproduce your problem, because I nearly always open pdf documents over the command line with zathura, but after that, I could reproduce it and one line solved it.

Hello,

A quick release of zathura 0.0.5:

* Correct search result highlighting
* Fullscreen mode
* Document password dialog
* Some other fixes

You can get the current source from the follow link zathura-0.0.5.tar.gz or install it from the official repository or just update to the latest git version in the AUR.

Best regards

Could it be that the git repository is gone offline again?

I always get a connection refused error.

The exact output:

Thanks for the quick fix- I was about to switch to git. I can now view my documents! Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. It should work again.

orschiro · 2010-05-26 20:54:41

Can confirm that it's working again. Just a small idea that just now came up as I tried to to zoom with ctrl+mouse wheel.

What do you think about such a feature? I'm sure it would suit well since one can even scroll the page via mouse. So why don't use a comfortable zoom function.

Regards

There's a thing which I would love to have. I sometimes read lecture scripts from university on my laptop screen. When I'm on the bottom of a page, I go to the next page with the space button (or J, but space is more comfortable). But when I have to return to e.g. the last sentence which is on the bottom of the last page, I have to go back with K and scroll the whole page down.

So, is it possible to implement a continuous mode? I know some pdf viewers have this (e.g. evince), but many others don't. I really like this feature, because it makes reading texts more fluent, especially if you have to jump back and forth

Good point! Would second that.

neldoreth · 2010-05-26 22:27:12

Hello,

We discussed this feature some time ago and are working on that when we have more time.

Best regards

Army · 2010-05-27 07:09:58

Thanks neldoreth :-)

Btw, is there still anybody out there using apvlv? ;-)

Yep still using it because it has continuous read mode. And some times it is snappier.

myrkiada · 2010-05-27 15:28:10

zathura quickly became my only pdf reader, I just love it!
Thanks neldoreth! You're doing great good for mankind!

fflarex · 2010-05-27 21:11:44

'Zoom to fit' and 'zoom to width' are mixed up in the man page.

ApotheoZ · 2010-05-28 09:04:56

A realy great app' !

Can you please write the changelog for all versions on the official website ?
It would be great to see the diffferences between the different versions, and not only their names.

Anyway : good job !
