Greetings. When using the 'Typeset and view PDF' command in the LaTeX bundle, in conjuction with Skim as a viewer, the character/word/line corresponding to the cursor's position is selected in the pdf page. Does anyone know if this is due to some option used inside the script, or a standard behaviour of Skim? I find it quite annoying and would like to prevent Skim from selecting anything (the red dot is more than enough to show the position, for me).
Thanks in advance, Piero

You can add --synctex=0 under the Options for the default engine. Press ⌘,p in a latex document to bring up the latex preferences.

Wouldn't that mean that I have no the synchronization pdf > source? In that case I prefer to put up with the selection in Skim
Thanks Piero

You can probably edit the script to do what you want…
Open Latex.tmbundle/Support/bin/texMate.py and go to line #203:
if syncPath and usePdfSync:
Instead, change it to this:
if syncPath and usePdfSync and False:
That ought to do it.
