It would have been good if it had caret mode like that in qutebrowser to select text. The caret mode is a mode where a caret appears on the pdf screen by clicking v and it can be moved around by using j,k,h and l.Clicking v or V again after caret mode puts in selection mode where we can select text like vim.https://git.pwmt.org/pwmt/zathura/-/issues/234add flip page feature2021-07-14T18:11:48+02:00Nikin Baidaradd flip page featureZathura is really great for viewing pdfs.

But one feature I am really missing is the one for a flip page.
Whenever I am in dual page mode, there is no way to bring the page on the right to the left side, as in flipping a page, or vice-versa to flip back.
Are there any new updates where this feature could be added?https://git.pwmt.org/pwmt/zathura/-/issues/232Enhance font thickness2021-07-14T18:03:57+02:00Reto SchnyderEnhance font thicknessOn low DPI displays, some fonts (like computer modern) can be very thin and hard to read.

I don't know if there is a way to improve this on the side of poppler / mupdf through font hinting or some such. If not, I suggest a setting to apply gamma correction to the output. I hacked together a proof of concept that applies a gamma correction of 1.5 before recoloring, see the following screenshot. In my opinon, the gamma corrected output (the lower screenshot) is much easier on the eyes. If there is interest, I can try implementing gamma correction as a proper setting.

When I'm reading a **zoomed-in** document I need to progress through it using a sequence of 2 different keys: `J` (go to the next page) and `L` (scroll to the bottom of the page).

When I'm reading a **zoomed-in** document I need to progress through it using a sequence of 2 different keys: `J` (go to the next page) and `L` (scroll to the bottom of the page).
1. When I start I'm at the top of the page. I read the visible part.
2. Then I I scroll down using `L`. Then I read the bottom part.
3. I need to go to the next page so I press `J` (or `PageDown`).
(and the cycle repeats)
So to progress through a document I need to use sequence `L`, `J`, `L`, `J`... In my opinion it's not the best user experience, because you all the time have remember which button you need to press now.
## Proposed solution
I think it would make a lot of sense to add a command that would merge both scrolling and going to the next page:
- If you are not at the bottom of the page, scroll page by one screen, no more than to the bottom of the page (or to the bottom of the page, to make it simpler)
- If you already are at the bottom of the page, go to the next page
Such a command could be bound to a key, e.g. `Space`, and then the document could be progressed using single key strokes (`Space`, `Space`, `Space` ...), without a need to think which one you need to press now.
## Correct me if I'm wrong
Please correct me if I'm wrong and this is already possible somehow.
### `scroll-page-aware`
I actually see an option in `man zathurarc` that seem like it could work like this - `scroll-page-aware`. The problem is it doesn't work like this. Instead it has some pretty weird behavior that I find hard to understand and describe here.https://git.pwmt.org/pwmt/zathura/-/issues/227can't change default Print dialog setting from US Letter to A4 in Openbox2021-11-16T00:12:55+01:00Joseph Harriottcan't change default Print dialog setting from US Letter to A4 in Openbox`Arch Linux 5.12.1` with `Openbox 3.6.1`, and using `papersize(5)` to set a4 or A4[^1]:

However would like to set `recolor` depending on the time of day and currently there's no way to do that.
This could happen in two ways:
1. Have a `--recolor` option.
2. Have a `-C` option which runs an arbitrary zathura command when the file is loaded.
I'd be happy with either one. Thank you for reading this and for the great software!

In this case, the file is linked to a fuse filesystem. My workdir looks like this:

Since I don't control the parameters to zathura myself (It is spawned by vimtex), I can't just do `zathura $(realpath ...)`. \
I think it would be best to 'fix' this in the zathura repo.
I'm not farmiliar with the code though, so I'll just post a very simple patch I made here, and hope someone can comment on it.

I really appreciate zathura. It drives my daily reading and writing with TeX.
Is it possible to implement something like easymotion on zathura (please see https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion) and make it work with inverse search? It would be awesome if this could be implemented! I think then I can remove my mouse completely.
Thank you very much!

when pressing `a` and viewing the page in best-fit mode part of the page gets covered by the statusbar (which can be removed, and the issue fixed, with `^n`). Could this be automated so the best-fit mode takes in account the space occupied by the statusbar and adjust its size to not get covered?

I know the offset feature, but this is sometimes insufficient: the page numbers of some books are unfortunately discontinuous. For example, the next page of 114 is 116. I cannot correct such kind of discrepancy by setting an offset.

The outline of all characters is jagged and pixelated. There is nothing special about my .pdf documents (mostly generated with LaTeX, correct page sizes, embedded Type 1 fonts). I am using the zathura-pdf-mupdf on Arch Linux.
Looking at the code of the plugin and zathura itself, however, I am not surprised the print quality is bad. In the corresponding source file print.c in the zathura repository apparently simply a hack is used to “Render to a surface that is 5 times larger to workaround quality issues.” Apparently this hack does not perform well enough in general. Potentially this affects also other document types and plugins.
So this issue is basically a feature request to implement proper calculation of the required rendering output sizes to obtain a specific printout resolution. I suggest to ensure a printout resolution of at least 300 dpi by default. Ideally the desired printout resolution should be configurable (maybe via config or the printing dialog).
