[apvlv] several problems
Hello guys,
I'm trying to customize apvlv to fit my needs but still have some open questions. Perhaps there are some apvlv users here that might help me. 
1) How can I select text and copy it to clipboard? I tried to select a text snippet by line with the mouse but there seems to be no grid. And right click -> copy to clipboard does not work here either.
2) Sometimes I open a pdf directly out from firefox with the result that the pdf is stored in /tmp. Is there any way to have a form of completion like in bash? That means I type :w and then can direct with tab completion into the directory I want to save the pdf.
3) I'd like to set the default zoom to fit width so I edited the ~/.apvlvrc to look like the following but it isn't working.
set zoom=fitwidthThat's it. Hope I get some working solutions.
Best regards

I don't use vim or apvlv but perhaps this thread might help you regarding your first problem:

Re: [apvlv] several problems
apvlv stands for "Alf's PDF Viewer Like Vim", for those who didn't know. I don't think it's very popular at the moment.
"Copy to clipboard" seems to take the whole page ... sometimes.
You'll probably have to wait for further versions for stuff like tab completion. Currently even the long forms of the commands don't work (e.g. there's no such command as 'quit'; only 'q' works).
The zoom option not working is probably a bug; it's in the default/example config, commented, and uncommenting does nothing.
Mind you apvlv is version "0.0.9". 
But it's already my default PDF viewer, and will sure be more popular between vi lovers after some more development...
