SyncTeX Integration#

Galley implements both directions of SyncTeX:

• Forward Search — Jump from your editor to the corresponding position in the PDF. The target is briefly highlighted with a fading red dot so it is easy to spot.
• Inverse Search — Cmd + Click on a glyph in the PDF to jump back to the source location in your editor. Galley supports Emacs (via emacsclient), VS Code (via the vscode:// URL scheme), and arbitrary custom editors via a shell command template.

Forward Search is invoked through the galleypdf:// URL scheme, so it works with any editor that can open a URL — including AUCTeX, YaTeX, LaTeX Workshop, and hand-rolled build scripts.
