The MWE below will creates a test case and should work if you have the files foo.tex, foo.pdf and foo.txt located in the directory above the directory where the MWE is run from. txt (located in other directories) files to be opened from a hyperref run link as well as web links.

That is, if I have the third paragraph (for instance) at the top of my view, I don't want it to open to the top of the page.Īllows.

I would prefer to stick with TeXShop if at all possible, but in case I need to switch apps, my requirement for the pdf viewers are:Īutoupdate the view when the file is modified, preferably leave the view the exact same spot as it was before (as TeXShop does).

(Code folding, code replication /deletion and line manipulation, basically just a far more extensive set of hotkeys) The flexibility and power of VSC's standard code editing features. (The material dark theme in VSC is adequate though)

The code colouring scheme and "environmental awareness" ( when using packages like tikz) is far more effectively implemented in Texmaker. Having to use "( x )" instead of "$ x $" for inline maths, this was a surprisingly difficult habit to change. The takes a quite a long time for the editor to build a project.

(You also need to download and install Perl) I found setting up and preparing VSC for Latex a bit of a hassle. NEGATIVES: (which may only be due to my ignorance) I still use it to quickly edit a project, set up a table or debug when VSC isn't being helpful enough. I really liked Texmaker, it is also the only other editor I have used so all comparisons below are between it and VSC. I am a high school science teacher who is forced to use a Word template for formal assesments, so I only really use Latex to make parts of my exam memos and classroom handouts, and belive I have become I am a relatively proficient noob, due to my love of pretty maths formatting and hatred of Word's equation editor.

Welcome to my TED talk.or a pros and cons list with a few of my thoughts about the editor. I only recently started using Visual Studio Code with the Latex Workshop extension, I wish I had found out about it earlier. TLDR: Visual Studio Code is a nice LaTeX editor. Visual Studio Code has an Auto Build setting that updates the PDF in the preview tab when you stop typing, so each change or addition can be seen almost immediately.
