It's long been in the project TODO file: - Include synctex support. - but I never knew if it was something people would actually use. "user202729", can you advise if Patrice's method produces working synctex information in whatever PDF browser/text editor that uses it? If so, it may not be difficult to add some extra support for synctex.
