zathura - a document viewer

Herbalist · 2015-11-13 05:20:02

Is there any way to make the scrollbars hidden?
I have these lines added to ".config/zathura/zathurarc"

set show-scrollbars false
set show-v-scrollbar false
set show-h-scrollbar false

they don't seem to have any effect.

from man zathurarc

   guioptions
       Shows  or  hides GUI elements.  If it contains 'c', the command line is dis-
       played.  If it contains 's', the statusbar is  displayed.   If  it  contains
       'h',  the vertical scrollbar is displayed.  If it contains 'v', the horizon-
       tal scrollbar is displayed.

       o Value type: String

       o Default value: s

Example:
set guioptions shv

I have the line

set guioptions s

in the top of the zathurarc file, also trying the different strings "c,s,h or v" from the command mode in zathura doesn't make any change.
I'm using the git version of the program from the AUR if that matters, but I also had the same issue when using the package in the official repos previously.

If that does not work, there might a problem in the interaction of zathura and your theme. It either does not respect the scrollbar settings we set or overrides our settings. So please tell us more about your theme and GTK+ version.

Feature request:
Autoscroll like in the mobile apps like moonreader+.
Is this possible/doable?

bijanbina · 2016-01-12 04:28:41

Hi

There is a feature in some pdf reader like evince that they can open a copy ( or clone ) from the current document by pressing ctrl + N
I know that I Can do something like that by enter :open <filename> but how can I get the current open file name so I can make a shortcut map to it for all cases

Thanks

You can add this to your zathurarc:

map <C-n> feedkeys ":exec zathura $FILE<Return>"

All the best,
Moritz

Thanks for your kind help.
I really appreciate that.

But still one thing is missing. The new opened document, current page is not the same as the current page of it's parent, on the other hand it show the page saved in bookmark not the page that I view in the original (which is logically true but not what I really want)
Generally, is there any list available, that have all defined variable of zathura. just to be mentioned that, I can read code, so if you give me a hind I could find it in you sources

I'm reading the documentation for some time but still I can't figure out how to change the black color around the pdf document to some other color (ex, gray).

image of pdf surrounded with black color

Is this even possible?

Take a look at man zathurarc
This specific option should be default-bg.

bokiscout · 2016-01-15 23:15:00

@karlch:
Strange, it was not working when applied on open document but it is working when set in the configuration file...

Thank you.

I'm having difficulty in getting this to work whether I set it from within

~/.config/zathura/zathurarc

or from the zathura command line.

All my other rc settings work fine however, so zathura is definitely reading the file.

We changed the format of first-page-column in 0.3.4. It's now "1 page per row[:2 pages per row[:...]]", i.e a list of first page column per number of pages per row separated by :. So "set first-page-column 1:2" (the new default) means if there is one column, put the first page in the first column, but if there are two column, put the first page in the second column.

That was quick!

Thank you for the reply; this now works perfectly.

@mlq,

Why its depend on texlive-bin again? [1]

Initially, libsynctex was shipped together with zathura, because although texlive also provided libsynctex, it was not up-to-date.
Then, texlive was updated, and zathura no longer had to ship libsynctex on its own, because it could use the libsynctex provided by Arch's texlive package.
A few hours ago, the PKGBUILD was fixed to only depend on libsynctex instead of the entire texlive package.

Does anyone know how to map a mouse-click to follow link? Ideally something like Ctrl+Mouse1, or even just regular Mouse1.. kinda like the functionality in evince.

This works for me here - have you checked whether at least the links can be accessed via keyboard (pressing `f`)?

Yes, following links works with `f`

Currently for mouse1 I get "Copied selected text to selection primary" and it copies the letter under my click

ayekat · 2016-02-10 11:03:20

Ah, I didn't even test it when I wrote; I'm sorry.

You can double-click on the link, that should work (although it still copies the selected text to the clipboard...)

Yup, I just noticed that too! Thanks.

science404 · 2016-02-10 11:31:44

yet another question:

Is it possible to see colored boxes around links, like in evince? I couldn't find any option for this in the man page for zaturarc

jrl · 2016-02-12 08:30:25

Is there any way to copy text from a PDF in Zathura?

Selecting text with mouse results in Zathura claiming "Copied text to selection primary", but I haven't found any way to access that text, as if nothing is actually copied at all.

to paste text from primary you will have to use middle mouse button/ or on laptop simultaneously click both left and right touchpad keys, I don't know though how to copy text to clipboard from zathura, if someone can help on that.

x33a · 2016-02-12 09:50:37

@Docbroke, one way is to keep your primary and clipboard selections in sync using a clipboard manager.
