I haven't tried this yet, but the idea that I can click on a reference and have a window pop up to show me the equation/figure/table without actually taking me there is awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to do this pop-up thing in latex so it would do this in regular pdf viewers but the current methods I've seen are all too clunky. To be able to do this purely in the viewer is fantastic.
- lloda 5y agoevince does that when you hover over links.

- nextos 5y agoI usually read PDFs in Firefox, with two tabs open for the same document. I use the second tab to scroll around without loosing context. This also possible to achieve in Emacs with pdf-tools, and with just one instance of the document, by setting marks and following hyperlinks.
