vpw (Vi navigation for PDF files on Windows)

vpw allows users to navigate pdf files using keyboard shortcuts from Vi. It is an Autohotkey script for emulating Zathura from Linux.

Note

• Currently, the pdf viewers supported are Adobe Acrobat, SumatraPDF, and PDF-XChange Editor. However, line 5 can be easily edited to support any other program. Please use the Window Spy feature of Autohotkey to extract an application name.
• The navigations (j k u d) emulate mouse wheel scrolls. This means the mouse pointer needs to be on the pdf viewer. It can be easily achieved by the ctrl + win + space shortcut. The position of the pointer can be easily changed by modifying lines 10 and 11. win + space shortcut for a mouse click can be useful as well.
