Change View-command In Emacs And AUCTeX (pdf Mode)
Answer : Solution: to use `TeX-view-program-list' in order to define a new viewer description (which contains an Evince command without sync). This new command will override the description of Evince defined in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' (which contains the problematic command TeX-evince-sync-view ). To do so : M-x customize-variable <RET> TeX-view-program-list <RET> <INS> Name = Evince Command = evince --page-index=%(outpage) %o I have no idea why this code in .emacs does not work: (setq TeX-view-program-list '(("Evince" "evince --page-index=%(outpage) %o"))) Via configuration, I find the following works: (defun my-LaTeX-mode() (add-to-list 'TeX-view-program-list '("Evince" "evince --page-index=%(outpage) %o")) (setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "Evince"))) ; Other mode specific config ) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'my-LaTeX-mode)
