Two way sync issue between Skim and Sublime text 3

#1

Hello everyone, this might not be a big issue or something that might not be relevant for this forum. If this is the case then please redirect me.

I have noticed a problem when working with Latex tools and full screen mode. If I have sublime text and skim on the desktop then my two way sync works great. When I click on the pdf it jumps to sublime and when I compile in sublime it jumps to the pdf. However, when I work on fullscreen mode on a mac the sync fails. Even though I can go from pdf to sublime, when latex tools finish compiling I do not get the transport back to the pdf with the little red dot indicating where I was last working on.

Can you please advice how to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

There’s a setting in LaTeXTools called keep_focus which controls whether focus should be kept on Sublime or shifted to the PDF viewer. By default, it is set to true (focus on Sublime), but you can change it either in your LaTeXTools.sublime-settings file (Preferences | Package Settings | LaTeXTools | Settings - User) or on a temporary basis using the toggle C-l,t,f.
