How do I get Inverse Search and Forward Search working in Kile?

• Set up Kile to tell LaTeX to add source info, i.e., set LaTeX build tools from Default to Modern:

  Settings -> Configure kile -> Build -> LaTeX -> "Modern" in the dropdown menu
  Click ForwardDVI in the list
  Select Embedded Viewer configuration
  Click OK
  Click LaTeX in the build toolbar menu
  Click ForwardDVI in the view toolbar menu. This will open up an Okular window.
  Open Settings->Configure Viewer
  Click Editor
  Select Kile as the editor
  Click OK
  

• Setup inverse search from Okular:
  

  Settings -> Configure Okular .. -> Editor -> Editor dropdown: "custom text editor"
  
  command: kile %f --line %l (or select Kile as the editor)
  

  If everything is set up properly, you can click into Okular's window with the left mouse button while pressing Shift.

• Setup inverse search from KDVI
  

  Settings -> Configure kdvi -> DVI Specials
  Select "Kile" as the editor 
  

  You should then be able to inverse search by clicking the middle mouse button within kdvi.

• Setup inverse search with XDVI
  

  Settings -> Configure Kile -> Tools -> Build and select ViewDVI
  

  Define a new view configuration (xdvi for example), if you don't already have one for xdvi. on the General tab fill in the following values:

  Command: xdvi
  Options: -editor 'kile %f --line %l' '%target'
  the fields on the other tabs should be selfexplanatory.
  

  You will have to include "usepackage{srcltx}" in your .tex file when using Inverse/Forward Search with xdvi. Use Ctrl + Left Mouse Button to jump in your latex code from xdvi

• ForwardDVI with xdvi
