Vim+Zathura+Synctex

• In a script called 'vimura':

#!/bin/sh
echo $1
zathura -s -x "gvim --servername $1 -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $*

For zathura >= 0.3.2 remove -s.

• In your vimrc:

function! Synctex()
        " remove 'silent' for debugging
        execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf
endfunction
map <C-enter> :call Synctex()<cr>

• Build your latex doc with synctex enabled

pdflatex -synctex=1 ...

• Open PDF with vimura script.

• CTRL+Click in Zathura jumps to source in vim.

• CTRL+Enter in vim jumps to corresponding position in PDF.

This is my tex autocmd group

  augroup latex
    autocmd! CursorMovedI *.tex call OpenZathura()
    autocmd! BufWritePost,BufReadPre *.tex silent !compiler %
  augroup end

Also a tiny detail:

Also imp to have the compiler (whaterver compiling script or command you have) mapped to a certain key binding without silent, for for debugging.
