ZATHURA(1) zathura ZATHURA(1) NAME zathura - a document viewer SYNOPSIS zathura [-e XID] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [-p PATH] [-w PASSWORD] [-P NUMBER] [--fork] [-l LEVEL] [-s] [-x CMD] [--synctex-forward INPUT] [--synctex-pid PID] [-find STRING] DESCRIPTION zathura displays the given files. If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as file name, the content will be read from the standard input. If no files are given, an empty zathura instance launches. OPTIONS -e,--reparent=xid Reparents to window specified by xid -c,--config-dir=path Path to the config directory -d,--data-dir=path Path to the data directory -p,--plugins-dir=path Path to the directory containing plugins -w,--password=password The documents password. If multiple documents are opened at once, the password will be used for the first one and zathura will ask for the passwords of the remaining files if needed. -P,--page=number Opens the document at the given page number. Pages are numbered starting with 1, and negative numbers indicate page numbers starting from the end of the document, -1 being the last page. -f,--find=string Opens the document and searches for the given string. -l,--log-level=level Set log level (debug, info, warning, error) -x,--synctex-editor-command=command Set the synctex editor command. Overrides the synctex-editor-command setting. --synctex-forward=input Jump to the given position. The switch expects the same format as specified for synctex's view -i. If no instance is running for the specified document, a new instance will be launched (only if --synctex-pid is not specified). --synctex-pid=pid Instead of looking for an instance having the correct file opened, try only the instance with the given PID. Note that if the given PID does not have the correct file open or does not exist, no new instance will be spanned. --mode=mode Start in a non-default mode --fork Fork into background --version Display version string and exit --help Display help and exit MOUSE AND KEY BINDINGS General J, PgDn Go to the next page K, PgUp Go to the previous page h, k, j, l Scroll to the left, down, up or right direction Left, Down, Up, Right Scroll to the left, down, up or right direction ^t, ^d, ^u, ^y Scroll a half page left, down, up or right t, ^f, ^b, space, , y Scroll a full page left, down, up or right gg, G, nG Goto to the first, the last or to the nth page P Snaps to the current page H, L Goto top or bottom of the current page ^o, ^i Move backward and forward through the jump list ^j, ^k Bisect forward and backward between the last two jump points ^c, Escape Abort a, s Adjust window in best-fit or width mode /, ?

Save document (and force overwriting) export Export attachments dump Write values, descriptions, etc. of all current settings to a file. CONFIGURATION The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by modifying the zathurarc file (default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc). For a detailed description please consult zathurarc(5). SYNCTEX SUPPORT Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by zathura, To enable synctex forward synchronization, please look at the --synctex-forward and --synctex-editor options. zathura will also emit a signal via the D-Bus interface. To support synctex backwards synchronization, zathura provides a D-Bus interface that can be called by the editor. For convince zathura also knows how to parse the output of the synctex view command. It is enough to pass the arguments to synctex view's -i option to zathura via --synctex-forward and zathura will pass the information to the correct instance. For gvim forward and backwards synchronization support can be set up as follows: First add the following to the vim configuration: function! Synctex() execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf redraw! endfunction map :call Synctex() Then launch zathura with zathura -x "gvim --servername vim -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $file Some editors support zathura as viewer out of the box: o LaTeXTools for SublimeText (https://latextools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-viewers/#zathura) o LaTeX for Atom (https://atom.io/packages/latex) ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ZATHURA_PLUGINS_PATH Path to the directory containing plugins. This directory is only considered if no other directory was specified using --plugins-dir. KNOWN BUGS If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with large documents. In this case zathura might crash or pages cannot be rendered properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue. The same issue may appear, if overlay-scrollbar is enabled in GTK_MODULES.
