<p>
The <app>pluma</app> plugin contains a python script (<file>atril_dbus.py</file>) that can be used to get SyncTeX working with Vim.
In order to use vim-latex together with Atril you need to follow the next steps:
</p>
<steps>
 <item>
  <p>
     Copy the <file>atril_dbus.py</file> to some directory in your path and give it +x permissions.

 </p>
 </item>
 <item>
  <p>
     Modify your <file>~/.vimrc</file> file and add the following lines.
    </p>
<code>
let g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf = 'atril_dbus.py'
let g:Tex_DefaultTargetFormat = 'pdf'
let g:Tex_CompileRule_pdf = 'pdflatex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode $*'
</code>

  </item>
  <item>
   <p>
     Now you can use Forward search from vim-latex by typing \ls. Backward search is not yet supported.
