Hi. Maybe there's an easier way to do it without changing any file or via
mtxrun's command line, but the following is what I do:

In l-pdfview.lua (mkiv folder, lines from 38) PDF view options are
available. I've added

['evince']    = [[evince "%filename%"]] -- My favorite viewer

And then, after pdfview.method assignments,

pdfview.method = "evince"

Now textadept opens the .tex file once compiled. I don't know if making the
format again is mandatory, but it doesn't hurt, anyways. I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Jairo
