Custom keybindings for the qpdfview PDF reader.

Keyboard shortcuts for qpdfview

The qpdfview PDF reader is a Poppler-based pdf reader with tabs.

The default keybindings are a little clunky, however, so here are my customized configuration, including:

• Vim-like hjkl and arrow keys both work.
• Search with /, as in Vim.
• Close tab with d, as in Pentadactyl and Vimperator.
• Search next with enter, like most browsers.
• Move to other tabs with Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn as well as Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab, like most browsers.
• Zoom in with Ctrl+= and out with Ctrl+-, like most browsers.

To use it, replace the qpdfview config file, usually in ~/.config/qpdfview/shortcuts.conf. You can keep your old config file by e.g. renaming shortcuts.conf to shotcuts.conf.old.
