For a summary of the newest developments (e.g., PDFSync support in the new MacVim project), see http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/12/pdfsync-inverse-searches-in-macvim.html Below are the comments at the head of the gvim-pdfsync script. # gvim-pdfsync: Script for opening a file in Vim in OS X and positioning #               the cursor at a particular line. If the file is already #               open in an existing Vim, the cursor will be repositioned #               re-opening the file. # #               The script is meant to extend the inverse searching #               (c.f. PDFSync compatible PDF viewers (e.g., Skim or #               TeXniscope) or DVI viewers that pay attention to #               source specials (e.g., TeXniscope)) to MacVim. # # Author: Ted Pavlic #         ted@tedpavlic.com #         http://www.tedpavlic.com/ # # Usage: gvim-pdfsync "%file" [%line] # #        where %file is a file name and %line is a line number. # # History and acknowledgments: # #    The genesis of this script is this comment: # #    http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=88674 # #    to this thread: # #    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070111095701823 # #    Most of the important AppleScript is by Yonatan Amit, the original #    author of that thread. # # For more information (and history): # # http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/07/pdfsync-inverse-searches-on-vim-for-os.html #

install details

NOTE: THIS IS DESIGNED FOR OS X. It uses AppleScript. Save this file in the path somewhere. For example: /usr/local/bin/gvim-pdfsync Then chmod it 0755. For example, chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/gvim-pdfsync It then can be used like this: gvim-pdfsync "%file" %line where %file is the name of the file being opened and %line is the desired line number for the cursor. If you run it again with a different line number, the Vim application will reposition the cursor.
