Whoa, #Zathura is #Wayland-native?!?

Color me impressed.

(Disclaimer: I know that Wayland isn't all unicorn farts and Lucky Charms for many, especially for my friends in BSD-land. I'm hoping that the growing pains won't be too terrible, but I know they certainly haven't been fun up until this point. FYI #WayBros, "It works great on Gnome/KDE" is not a good apologetic for something that has just gotten past the half-baked stage, and was written in a Linux-exclusive way. But I'm happy so far.)

@hpower @martin Seit Jahren nichts anderes mehr als #zathura

My favorite pdf viewer #zathura has finally sorted out text selection, it seems! A good day for the #lnux desktop 🙂

I pity the fool still using Adobe Reader.
#Zathura is my PDF wingman

Sway on Arch

#ArchLinux + #Sway + #Swaybar + #alacritty + #mutt + #toot

Other app:

#nb, #bc, #ncmpc, #zathura, #irssi, #screen, #wyrd, #swayimg, #lynx

#Emacs people, whenever I execute `M-x shell-command` I have no access to my aliases and #zsh config at all. In fact every time I open a pdf file with #zathura from within emacs, my zathurarc gets completely ignored.

This latter behaviour is probably linked with the cause of the first. I tried searching references for how the inferior #shell works but nothing gave me a clue for what's going wrong...

@Anachron Yes, some things are hard on CLI. But then I prefer simple GUI app than TUI one. And when GUI app has design similar to #vim (#qutebrowser, #zathura, #imv) I'm ecstatic.

I recently discovered #Zathura, a PDF (and many other things) viewer.

What an absolute marvel of a program.

Just imagine that `less' ran as a GUI, and could open PDFs (and many other things).

Immediately intuitive keybindings. Just amazing. :D

@marius851000 @BE4FOSS I can't understand it, too. This software looks bloaty to me! Green software is for me a software, which is doing what it should and hasn't a lot of features and has not much updates (less compile time) and does everything to be energy-efficient.

I think #zathura is much greener than Okular.

And it somehow looks like a greenwashing strategy of huge companies, which are far away of being sustainable.

@trom I recommend #zathura because Core PDF looks too bloaty to me.

My one comfort is that this is made so much easier by virtue of excellent tools: #swaywm, #xournalpp and #zathura. With these I can still derive some nerdy pleasure from the process.

@devSJR I didn't know about the pympress, thanks for the suggestion.

All my plots from R (#Rstat) are stored as PDF, and I need a fast software to view them. large pheatmaps and scatter plots takes a long time to load on Okular or other software. I also want the PDF viewer to constantly check if the file is updated and show it. For this, #Zathura is my go-to PDF viewer. It is super lightweight, fast, keyboard driven and minimalistic UI, and highly configurable.

The above thread contains info on simple #PDFViewers for linux. Thanks for asking, Klaus!

For ages I had to deal with the fact that #zathura doesn't have a "presentation mode". The solution was to have #evince on the side and use that for presentations.

The other day I came across #pdfpc, a Keynote-like presentation tool so juicy that I want to give presentations just to use it!

Also great #beamer support!

Setting up #SyncTeX was one of the best decisions I've made for #LaTeX development. It was a walk in the park with #Zathura and #AUCTeX.
