Hello, Thanks for your help ! First, only edit the init.lua in your USER folder, on Win it's > C:\Users\NAME\.textadept\init.lua. Don't edit the init.lua within TA's main > folder.

What I would like, if possible, is an automatic opening of this file after compilation. Here's what I get in the messages tab : mtx-context | pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra, current method: sumatra (directives_pdfview_method) pdfview | command: wine "sumatrapdf.exe" -reuse-instance -bg-color 0xCCCCCC "wolfgang-1.pdf" 1> / dev / null 2> / dev / null & system | total runtime: 1.624 seconds If I compile a second time, still no automatic output from the file test.pdf. On the other hand, if I do Crtl + R test.tex, the file test.pdf opens with xdg-open : > exit status: 0 > xdg-open "wolfgang-1.pdf" File name empty! The specified Application package is not valid. / usr / bin / xdg-open: line 881: x-www-browser: command not found > exit status: 0 Thanks Fabrice Le mar. 21 août 2018 à 02:00, Lars a écrit : > Hi there, thanks for your interest in Textadept.
