Not sure if this is the right place to point this out. However, I've just stumbled upon Texstudio's github repo to find out that a new version (after 2.12.6) has been released (with the Latest release tag, as opposed to Pre-release). No mention of this on the main website.

Would love to be able to turn on vim keybindings in the editor tab

\\* is used to prevent page breaks after a row in a table environment. Auto aligning puts a linebreak between \\ and * so the asterisk is interreted as text. for example:

\begin{longtable}{ll}
	A & B \\*
	C & D \\
\end{longtable}

is auto-aligned to:

\begin{longtable}{ll}
	A    & B \\
	*
	C & D
\end{longtable}

Opening the user manual

raises the warning on stderr/stdout:

This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio open' instead.
See 'gio help open' for more info.

If you go on Options->Configure TexStudio->Commands and modify the latex/pdflatex/xelatex commands introducing an --output-directory option, the compiler put the output .pdf file in the directory specified by the --output-directory parameter, but TexStudio continue to look in the directory of the .tex file

Texstudio is wonderful and I always use it to deal with .tex files.

Can superscripts/subscripts be displayed in TeXstudio as in Emacs+AucTeX (see picture) ? I think it's clear, but I don't know if it is difficult to achieve.

It would be useful a feature to export and import the configuration settings of TexStudio (including shortcuts and custom macros)

Also, maybe this configuration can be synced over the cloud (lie Firefox or Chrome sync bookmarks and settings)

Im using TexStudio on Manjaro Linux and I am currently experiencing that it will crash on opening some PDFs in the internal viewer.
It will print out

crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
Forced kill after recovering failed after: SIGSEGV

in the console and then it's gone.

I use BetterBibTeX as a Zotero add-on and it has a function to "push references to TeXStudio". Using this produces /cite{CitationKey} at the point of the cursor in TeXStudio, and is a fast and easy way to include citations in the document I am working on.

I would like to customize the way TeXStudio handles these citations, specifically by bracketing them in \parencite[]{CitationKey} instead of \cite.

Apparently, from this conversation retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex#862, BetterBibTeX only pushes the citation and TeXStudio decides to bracket them in \cite{}

Is it possible to change how TeXStudio handles these references pushed by BetterBibTeX from Zotero?

The Latex compiler sometimes generates output with a ! at the beginning of a line, but it does so because it is printing out text from the input file, not due to an error message. Here is an example of output from the Latex compiler:

[117]
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 1416--1418
[][][]\T1/ptm/b/n/10.95 Some text \T1/ptm/m/n/10.95 De-fine $\OML/ztmcm
/m/it/10.95 T \OT1/ztmcm/m/n/10.95 : \U/msb/m/n/10.95 R[] \OMS/ztmcm/m/n/10.95
! \U/msb/m/n/10.95 R$ \T1/ptm/m/n/10.95 by
[]

In comparison, a real error has the line number after it:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.4 \foo

It may be helpful to have the log parser in Texstudio ignore lines that start with ! and are not followed directly by a line that starts with "l." + a number.

I suggest to add the license information:
https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-license-to-a-repository/

It could make sense to add several license files like
GPL-3,txt
LGPL.txt
and so on and note in a LICENSE or README file which license applies where. There are external files in this tree and I can not clearly see which files are from texstudio and which are external files.
At least icons, dictionaries and poppler are bundled.

I tried to edit the .ini file but without any effect.
I canceled the whole texstudio directory and downloaded the newest version of the app.
Nothing happens and the new version still freezes immediatly as launched.

I was preparing a new package for Gentoo, when I realized that the tar ball is very large.
So I looked into it and saw that many bundled libraries (some very old) are included.
Do you really need them here? We try to compile all software with fresh libs from the system.

Removing the bundled stuff would clarify also which files belong to texstudio and which are external projects.

Which versions are required? Somewhere I saw a very old qt4 QAZip. However texstudio runs with qt5 since a while...

Whenever I save a file (either with Ctrl+s or File->Save), the width of the structure view in the side panel resets to a very small value, while the with of the side panel itself is not changed.

This happens every time on both the version in the Archlinux repository (TeXstudio 2.12.6 (hg 6631+:16db084dae24+) Using Qt Version 5.10.1, compiled with Qt 5.9.3 R) and the current master (TeXstudio 2.12.8 (hg 2.12.8-1-g68cd3502) Using Qt Version 5.10.1, compiled with Qt 5.10.1 R).

After loading a large document I receive

QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 3045, resource id: 19752800, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0

on stdout/stderr. How can I collect the required information to trace the problem?

I love the ability of texstudio to right click on an included file and open it from the context menu. This works really great for files with a specified path or which are simply in the current working directory.

It would be nice if this could be expanded to files in the tex tree, e.g. if the file does not specify a path and is not found in the current working directory, one could use something equivalent to the command line expression

open `kpsewhich ushyphex.tex`

to open a file which is somewhere in the tex tree.

(Full disclosure: I just asked a loosely related question on tex.stackexchange how to write a user macro with the same effect, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/417727/36296)

This is a newbie question. I cannot compile or build & view with any of the default pdf programs. The message is: "Cannot start....". Using version 2.12.6 on Fedora 27 with Texlive (a complete install). Typing "latex" on the terminal shows that pdflatex is installed.

Can you help? I am reasonably proficient in using the terminal but need "TexStudio for Dummies" level instructions.
Thanks so much.

Reproduction steps:

1. Highlight some text
2. Press the Boldface button in the toolbar to wrap it in \textbf{ ... }
3. Press Ctrl + Z to undo
4. The original text is not restored, instead the text is now \textbf{}
5. Pressing Ctrl + Z again restores the original text

Expected behavior:

Since one button press was done to apply the bold styling, one press of Ctrl + Z should fully undo it.

Description

For some reason, 'Debug' build constantly fails because of git_revision.sh script (while 'Release' build works just fine). Exact error looks as follows:

git_revision.sh:12: cannot create src/git_revision.cpp: Directory nonexistent

Running git_revision.sh outside of build process (./git_revision.sh g++ <output_dir>) tells that there are not enough permissions for creating specified file despite of the fact that all possible permissions are given. Even manually setting permissions (through chmod 777 git_revision.sh) does not do the trick

Software information

OS: Kubuntu 17.10
Qt version: 5.9.1

I'm having problems with previews inline, in the preview panel, and as tooltips in Fedora. It's likely to be a problem with packaging. For instance, dvipng is not a dependency so the dvipng preview didn't work at all until I installed the texlive-dvipng package. However I can't figure out what I need for pdflatex preview (pdflatex itself is installed). I haven't been able to find the relevant part of the code here. Any ideas?

^ in mhchem commands should not be highlighted as syntax error.
It is very common to type isotopes like \ce{^3He}
Texstudio highlights this as syntax error, which is distracting.

Version
TeXstudio 2.12.8 (hg n/a)
Using Qt Version 5.9.4, compiled with Qt 5.9.4 R

There is a feature I always missed in Texstudio, in the following context:
Someone is working in a given project, and program some macros, specially to replace commonly used symbols, which are hard to type (uC to turn into $\mu$C for example).

But the issue is that I have to program these macros on both my laptop and desktop. And everytime I format my computer, I have to reprogram all the macros, because of course one always forget to save the texstudio config files.

What if the macros were saved in the project working dir, so it could be synced (e.g. via dropbox), so that it would work in all the machines.

Also because macros are very context specific, and sometimes some old macros end up bothering you on new projects.

Another COOL feature would be tohave the possibility of adding visual shortcuts to the macros into the bookmarks on the left sidebar, with all the other shortcuts. Or maybe simply a new tab showing the macros of that project. That would help to visually remember the macros you have on that project, and re-use them more often.

I would gladly contribute if I can.

Currently, when "Options → Configure TeXstudio... → Editor → Replace Double Quotes → Package csquotes \enquote{ }" is chosen, the following happens:

1. when the first " is hit, only \enquote{ is inserted,
2. when the second " is hit, the closing brace } is inserted.

The trouble is, until the second step above, the opening brace is marked as brace mismatched (by default in bold with red background) and so is the following \end{document}. This could be stressful and I suggest the closing brace being inserted at first double quote hit, with the cursor between the opening and closing braces.

BTW, this could apply to every replacement chosen in ""Options → Editor → Replace Double Quotes", that is only one " is needed and, when hit, both the opening and the closing parts of the replacement are inserted, for instance (| being the cursor):

• for English quotes: " → ``|'',
• for French Quotes (babel): " → \og |\fg{},
• for Package csquotes \enquote{ }: " → \enquote{|}.

I tend to select several words in a row by using double click + hold which does not work in TeXsstudio.

What I expect (and know to work with almost all applications):

This is my test text to illustrate the issue.
             |             |
             |             \--- 2.: Move the mouse coursor here: --> "test text to illustrate" will be highlighted.
             \--- 1.: Double click here and hold the second click: --> "test" will be highlighted.

Because of the double click instead of single click one can select word by word which is more convinient for me.

What happens:

This is my test text to illustrate the issue.
             |             |
             |             \--- 2.: Move the mouse coursor here: --> The selection hangs on the word "test".
             \--- 1.: Double click here and hold the second click: --> "test" will be highlighted.

Please insert proper code to enhance the user experience concerning that behaviour.
Thank you!

Hi all,
the latest build does not build on fedora. I am not 100% sure if this might be caused by the patches I need to apply, but I didn't change them between versions, so it probably is not my fault, but not sure.

In TeXstudio 2.12.6, on Windows 10, after I have used the editor for some time, I am no longer able to access all of the menus. This appear to affect different menus at different times, so at the moment selecting the "LaTeX" menu works fine, but clicking on "Tools" or "File" does not. Other times it has been an issue with a different set of menus. I had trouble getting the spell-checking context menu to open as well. Restarting TeXStudio fixes the problem. I have not yet been able to trace this to a particular action to make it entirely reproducible, but I wanted to bring attention to the issue. I will update this issue as I find triggers for the bug.

(enhancement)
Building on aarch64 (arm64) currently doesn't work, because it's not implemented in debughelper.cpp.

Specifically, there are two more extra files that need cleaning:

1. By default, SyncTeX creates a *.synctex.gz. This should be cleaned.
2. After working with Biber, you are left with a *.run.xml file. This should be cleaned, too.

Normally, this function should leave only the PDF and the TeX source, am I right?

I searched around, but I could not find s.th. appropriate, thus, I post it here as a potential enhancement.

I am working with TexStudio and both Bibtex and biber with no problem. However, I am often using different projects and the question which tool to use is answered very different based on decisions beyond my control. So usually when I switch project, I first have to find out what is supposed to be used here then, change my settings. - When switching back, I have to change the preferences again. In my view preferences should be not s.th. I have to switch with a project. (and I am sometimes switching several times each day)
So, I am wondering whether there might be a way for TexStudio to autodetect per project the correct setting (e.g., annotations in the tex-file or simply looking at the files produced in a run). This could then be the basis for selecting the tool..
Or perhaps there is such a way, but I did not find them. I always found I have to switch the preferences.

The website of the project (https://texstudio.org/) still offers version 2.12.6 as the latest version to download. However, the current release in Github is 2.12.8 (https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/releases).
I think it's important to keep the website up-to-date since most users will not compile Textstudio from source but instead just use the latest version available on the website.

Hello, usually I will double-click the pdf viewer and a magnifying glass will appear. After that, the mouse cursor will disappear. Close the pdf viewer and reopen it will solve this problem. But it is inconvenient.

A pop-up states TexStudio CRASHED due to SIGSEGV. Any insight?

This would be helpful when we copy text from @TEXStudio and paste into plain text boxes
For example, while submitting a paper to a journal we often need to copy paste abstract to a plain text box in ManuscriptCentral, Evise websites. I often have to de-TeX the text and hide LaTeX markups. It would be great if TeXstudio can help.

when typing
test\\[
Texstudio completes to test\\[\], which is wrong. Is there a way to disable this?

Hi,
first of all thanks for the awesome work you are doing in maintaining this project, I love TeXstudio!
There is just one thing that bothers me: the diffuclty to set up a consistent dark theme in the editor.

I managed to edit my font colors so that now i have a nice dark combination, and setting the color combination to "modern" makes also the UI kind of dark, but still there is a big fat light gray frame around the page that i cannot get rid of:

It would be PERFECT if I could set up that frame to be black as the rest of the edtior, or at least make it disappear.

thanks,
francesco

Hi, I have been running TexMaker but wanted to try out TexStudio as it seems to pack more features. However I am very reliant on the completer writing a lot of things for me since I take notes in class and really need the speed increase it provides.

I have remapped the backslash to be the key above my tab button on my Swedish keyboard layout. This key usually makes the paragraph sign. For some reason pressing this key and writing something after it does not trigger the completer in TexStudio as it did in TexMaker.

I have added the row "§" = (insertText:, "\\"); in my defaultkeybindings.dict, you can read further on the subject here https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/TextDefaultsBindings.html

If you can try to reproduce this and find out whats going on it would really help, since I have a hard time making the backslash on my keyboard layout as is (alt-shift-7).

Please let me know if you need any further info. OS is OS X 10.12.6 and texstudio is 2.12.6

Best regards!

On Windows 7 x64, using Tex-Live (2017), the package help does not work (TS 2.12.6).
It always tells me, that there is no documentation available.

This package's documentation is located in: C:\texlive\2017\texmf-dist\doc\latex\base\ifthen.pdf

Scan LaTeX distro for installed packages is checked - not sure if that has anything to do with the docs.

Need more info? Please let me know.

What can be the reason that errors found by LanguageTool are not underlined? I can see in the server's logs that it gets the request and finds errors, but nothing gets underlined in TexStudio. I have checked the syntax highlighting colors and they are set. I have tested with German and English. How to debug this?

Server URL: http://localhost:8081/v2/check (using http://localhost:8081/ doesn't work at all, as the request is sent to / instead of /v2/check)

Hi all,

I would like to know what's the correct upstream for texstudio. Are there any plans to migrate to another hosting site than sourceforge and which websites are still actively maintained. Is the release 2.12.8 here on github the latest release and will all other websites be updated?
Is there some information somewhere on the migration plan or what's going on?

Thanks
Johannes

When I compile this MWE latex file in texstudio, on windows, using MikTex, then view the result using texstudio internal PDF viewer, it shows white streak lines going over the image. These lines are not in the original image.

Also these lines do not show up when I view the compiled PDF file using external PDF reader such as adobe.

Why is that? The image is also a PDF file. Is it possible to resolve it? It is not a big issue really, since this seems to be just an artifact of texstudio pdf viewer itself, but thought to ask if there is an option to fix this.

Here is MWE

Using Qt Version 5.9.1, compiled with Qt 5.9.1 R
Windows 7.

The menu from which to select auto completion choices closes once the AltGr key is being pressed.

My keyboard layout allows to acces arrow keys conveniently when pressing the AltGr key. This would theoretically allow me to chose a completion proposition easily. However, the menu closes for apparently no reason.

Hi,

Thank you for this app. Very exciting to personalise the options.

Just, 1 spelling mistake in this menu (Production and Visualisation) :
dot n°2 : "The shortcut for Bibliograpy..."

That's all !
have a good day :)

Hello,

I have a main document thesis.tex that is based on different subdocuments:

\input{Preamble/preamble}
\begin{document}
\include{Chapter1/chapter1}
\end{document}	

In ./Preamble/preamble.tex I define the following commands:

\newcommand{\x}{\mathbf{x}}
\newcommand{\y}{\mathbf{y}}

Now if I use them in ./Chapter1/chapter1.tex:

• If I type \x then the editor suggestes \xi.
• if I type \y then it suggests \year (and I will have to delete ear to obtain \y).

This is very annoying. Could you please fix this? I would appreciate it a lot if somebody can help me with some workaround while waiting for this to be fixed.

Thank you very much in advance!

Section 2 is not shown in the structure view in this example, because the parser confuses \hyperref[label%ref]{text} with \hyperref[label%ref]{URL}{category}{name}{text}#S

Simplest solution is to just remove \hyperref[label%ref]{URL}{category}{name}{text}#S from the CWL

Hello,

A purely speculative question; I'm interested in using some of the functionality of TeXstudio in a no-GUI application, would it be possible to use the code in this repo as a library in another C++ application?

If so, how feasible would it be to incorporate the TeXstudio build process in (for example) a CMake project so I can call TeXstudio functions from my own code?

Regards,

Ben

I created a manifest for building a cross-distro Flatpak package :
https://github.com/Alexander-Wilms/flathub/tree/texstudio

You can test this by installing flatpak and flatpak-builder, downloading the json file and then running:

flatpak remote-add kde --from https://distribute.kde.org/kderuntime.flatpakrepo
flatpak install kde org.kde.Platform
flatpak install kde org.kde.Sdk
flatpak-builder --repo=texstudio-repo texstudio-build org.texstudio.TeXstudio.json
flatpak remote-add --no-gpg-verify texstudio-repo
flatpak install texstudio-repo org.texstudio.TeXstudio
flatpak run org.texstudio.TeXstudio

Flatpak provides a way to execute commands on the host, mentioned here: https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2016/09/16/builder-nightly-flatpak/

I think this method would need to be called here using Qt D-Bus.

LanguageTool has yet to be added as well.

Why .exe 2.12.8 so huge compared to 2.12.6? Did you include all dll's in .exe? I'm asking because in changelog there is no information.

Hi,
after updating my OSX to macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.2) some lines of my .tex files keep disappearing. As you can see in this picture some lines don't appear in texstudio but they are shown in texmaker. I've used the same version of texstudio and the same files before updating my mac and I didn't have such problems.
