Currently there is no way to see list of marks but you can see the list of bookmarks.

Some of the features:
* You can middle click on a reference/figure to go to the reference/figure (even if the PDF doesn't have links)
* You can middle click on a paper name in references to directly search it on google scholar
* Searchable table of contents
* Full browser-like history
* You can mark locations by character symbols (vim style)
New features since beta:
* Mac and Linux versions
* Highlights
* Ability to right click on references to open a quick overview of their location (works even the PDF doesn't have links)
* Ability to highlight the current line being read (this seems like such a minor feature, but it has extremely improved my quality of life while reading books, of course I am biased though :) )
* SyncTex support
* Dark Mode
* Ability to export your data
* Ability to synchronize your data across machines
Here is a video demo of some of the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTmCI0Xp5vI&t=1s
It has no particular relation to PDFs :D. It's just a random name. I also like the number 31.
(Disclaimer: I am the developer of sioyek)
You are right. It currently does target the caption (specifically the place where the word `Figure' is). Targeting the exact figure is something that I will work on.
> what looked like [13] was stored as @13#.
We probably should support more citation styles. Currently only the bracket style is supported but some papers cite using parentheses or other formats. If brackets being stored as @[NUM]# turns out to be common I could handle that too but I don't know how common it is since I have never seen something like this.
>The helper window opened behind the main window (for me, anyway), which is a little awkward.
You are right, we should fix this ASAP.
>As I was reading, I found myself wanting Smart Portals more than Smart Jump. Same automatic cross-reference detection as Smart Jump, but defining a Portal instead of a link.
There is kind of an smart portal feature in the sense that if you press 'p' and then middle click on something, then sioyek creates a portal from your current location to the location that it would take you if you just middle clicked on the text.
Automatic cross reference detection without user input is something that I have thought about and definitely want to do but the problem is there may be too many false positives, which could make things annoying. For now I think the semi-smart portals are a decent compromise.
>The view in the helper window can't be zoomed or panned, so unless it's kept at the same width as the main window was when the portal was captured, the helper window tends to crop out part of the captured content.
Yes it can. If you want to adjust a portal, press 'P' (that is, shift+p) while the portal is active. This takes you to the location of portal, now you can pan or zoom in and when you are done, press backspace to get to where you were. The portal will be updated with the new zoom/pan.
> I found myself liking shift-o more than I thought I would, more than tabs. It would be helpful to be able to clear entries from the previously opened list though; mine is now littered with test files.
You are right, definitely should add the ability to delete old documents.
The Mac version may take longer simply because I don't have access to a mac computer. Though theoretically it should compile on mac right now.
Yes you can (if I understood your question correctly). Press p and then navigate to the target file and then press p again to create a portal from the source PDF to the target PDF. (you can press tab to automatically jump to the target document if you need to)
> Can we export the marks/bookmarks/document state to a plaintext-compatible file?
Currently not but I could add it as it seems that a lot of people are requesting this feature.
> are marks single-character only? And can you not jump straight to a bookmark, only bringing up and searching the bookmarks context menu?
Yes. You are correct. Marks are meant for quick jumps around documents and Bookmarks are meant to be for more persistent situations (for example you can bookmarks an an exercise in a PDF so you can return to it at a later date when you have more time)
> "Set bit 13, CRCEN, before turning on bit 6, SPE, see ref manual page 808" or in your schematic that your PCB needs to "Route for additional 4.7 uF point of load capacitance within 25mm/nH/mOhm, see datasheet page 69".
I think portals are perfect for this use case because, as I said, you can create portals across different documents.
Sioyek currently does have a bookmark support which is external to the PDF (you can bookmark locations in PDF file and you can later quickly search in those bookmarks).
But I assume you mean some sort of visual annotation that is drawn on top of the PDF?
I think current search performance is better than other PDF viewers though (sub-second on a 500 page PDF on my 6700K CPU).
* You can middle click on a reference/figure to go to the reference/figure (even if the PDF doesn't have links)
* You can middle click on a paper name in references to directly search it on google scholar
* Searchable table of contents
* You can mark locations by character symbols (vim style)
Currently only the Windows build is available. Mac and Linux builds coming soon.
