I have to phone a friend in this one. I don't know much about latex in neovim these days. I pinged a buddy of mine to hopefully be able to respond here though!

Ok, got some responses from him (I don't know what any of these things mean haha): vimtex works perfectly on neovim (in fact, the main developer uses neovim) and is very well documented texlab (the latex lsp server) also does build and forward search (although there's a small bug at the moment) Oh, and backward search needs neovim-remote (\o/ mhinz); just use nvr --remote +"%line" "%file" as backward search command https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/5d1335d095d11f48a6744f75222449fc71eba596/doc/vimtex.txt#L4937-L4950 https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/blob/5d1335d095d11f48a6744f... (the vimtex dev uses Zathura, so that may be an alternative viewer to look into)

  Thank you for the detailed answer, I really appreciate it. It it great to know that the main developer for vimtex uses neovim. I will try the neovim/vimtex/zathura combination used by the dev!

  Just to follow up, my attempts to get vimtex to work unfortunately were unsuccessful. However, along the way reading neovim plugin docs I started to figure out the difference between neovim and vim and was able to get things working via the following process: sudo dnf install neovim sudo dnf install python3-neovim mkdir -p ~/.config/pack/foo/opt/mytex cd ~/.config/pack/foo/opt/mytex [download https://github.com/peterbjorgensen/sved/ftplugin https://github.com/peterbjorgensen/sved/ftplugin] cp ~/.vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim add the line "packadd mytex" to init.vim add the line "alias vim='nvim'" to ~/.bashrc :)
