I have described the bug in a forum thread: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=251&t=109707&p=257441#p257441 I have perfectly working forward search between LyX and Okular, but strangely inverse search does not work. For example, currently I have a tmp file from LyX and I can inverse search from command line: $ lyxclient -g /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n18490/lyx_tmpbuf18/paperall.tex 257 lyxclient: Connected to /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n18490/lyxsocket INFO:server-goto-file-row /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n18490/lyx_tmpbuf18/paperall.tex 257: But shift - click in Okular does not do anything. The Editor option is set to Lyx client: lyxclient -g %f %l in okular I tried to invoke okular from the command line: okular /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.n18490/lyx_tmpbuf18/paperall.pdf But still no luck. Shift-click does not do anything. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile pdf in lyx 2. View PDF in lyx to invoke Okular, or invoke okular in command line 3. Shift - click on a word Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Inverse search is invoked My LyX version is 2.0.5.1 and Okular version is 0.15.5 with KDE 4.9.5 release 3 in openSUSE 12.2 x64
Works fine here, are you sure you are in the browse mode and not in the text selection mode?
(In reply to comment #1) > Works fine here, are you sure you are in the browse mode and not in the text > selection mode? That was the culprit. I cannot believe I wasted time over this. Thanks for letting me know. I wonder where in the documentation did it say that it only works in the browser mode? I have never seen it mentioned - maybe I missed it (I just skimmed through the Okular handbook but could not find any), but I think the documentation on Inverse Search should clearly state this to prevent further waste of time of others. Thank you, Joon

I actually was looking for a way to contribute but couldn't find a easy way. I appreciate it.
(In reply to comment #4) > Thank you so much! You're welcome. This is a good example about the desired workflow for a documentation team: "Listen to users needs/questions and integrate the info they miss" > I actually was looking for a way to contribute but > couldn't find a easy way. If you again get in such a situation either add kde-doc-english@kde.org as cc to a bug or send a note the mailinglist kde-doc-english@kde.org. Then we'll try to care about it. Thanks for reporting.
Got it. Thanks!
