Inverse Search Editor Selection#

Select your preferred editor for Inverse Search (Cmd + Click) from the SyncTeX menu in Galley:

Emacs — Uses emacsclient. (Default.) Auto-searches:
- /Applications/Emacs.app/.../emacsclient
- /opt/homebrew/bin/emacsclient
- /usr/local/bin/emacsclient
Visual Studio Code — Uses the native vscode:// URL scheme.
Custom — Uses a user-defined shell command. See Custom Editor Command.

Custom Editor Command

Custom Editor Command#

Set your custom command via Terminal using %file and %line as placeholders:

# Example for VSCode (CLI)
defaults write com.github.munepi.galley customEditorCommand \
 "/opt/homebrew/bin/code --goto '%file':%line"

# Example for Sublime Text
defaults write com.github.munepi.galley customEditorCommand \
 "/opt/homebrew/bin/subl '%file':%line"

After setting this, switch the inverse search target to Custom in the SyncTeX menu (see Inverse Search).

Emacsclient Path

Specifying the Emacsclient Path#

If your emacsclient binary is not in one of the auto-searched locations (see Inverse Search), point Galley at it explicitly:

defaults write com.github.munepi.galley emacsclientPath "/path/to/your/emacsclient"

Debug Mode

# Temporary Enable (Terminal)
/Applications/GalleyPDF.app/Contents/MacOS/GalleyPDF /path/to/document.pdf -debugMode YES

To disable the permanent setting:
