Forward Sync to Skim Using LaTeXTools in macOS?
#2

Hi,

you need to use the LaTeXTools plugin:

github.com/SublimeText/LaTeXTools

I’m the author, and I apologize for not having written down clear, simple instructions… I promise they’re coming! You can find some basic info here:

tekonomist.wordpress.com/2011/03 … -text-2-4/

This tells you how to set up forward/inverse search with Skim. One correction: the setup instructions for Skim say that the command should be “subl”; that’s OK if you have created a symlink to the Sublime Text 2 binary. Otherwise you can enter the full path, which is

/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

From ST2, forward search is launched with shift+cmd+j, or whenever you build (compile) with cmd+b. Reverse search in Skim is activated as usual with shift+cmd+click.

Happy TeXing!
