    Basically, you add vimtex as a plugin to vim, you configure it in your .vimrc file and specify things like which PDF viewer you want to use to view the output. In both the blog post and the github repo they use the PDF viewer zathura.
  • Is there a way to run Linux applications on windows?

    I am a huge fan of zathura pdf reader, I love it. I am wondering if there is a way to convert Linux terminal applications like zathura to be used in windows. Kind of like how wine works, where it doesn't emulate, but rather converts a file to be able to run on a different os. I have seen wine being used to run windows applications on Linux but never the other way around. Is there anyway for that?

    You can use pdftotext to convert a pdf to text and then read that in vim. However it would probably be easier to just use a pdf reader that supports keyboard bindings, like zathura.
