30 The <app>Gedit</app> plugin contains a python script (evince_dbus.py) that can be used to get Synctex working with Vim.
31 In order to use vim-latex together with <app>Evince</app> you need to follow the next steps:
36 Copy the evince_dbus.py to some directory in your path and give it +x permissions.
42 Modify your ~/.vimrc file and add the following lines.
45 let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = 'evince_dbus.py'
46 let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
47 let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
53 Now you can use Forward search from vim-latex by typing \ls. Backward search is not yet supported.
