A first version of the gedit synctex plugin is available at 
http://github.com/jaliste/gedit-synctex-plugin. 

Note that it requires the patch in bug #625971.

Also see Gedit LaTeX plugin - http://www.michaels-website.de/gedit-latex-plugin/

Perhaps that could also be modified to support synctex.

Actually Gedit LaTeX plugin already seems to support Synctex in 0.2.0 final - http://gedit-latex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gedit-latex/GeditLaTeXPlugin/trunk/ChangeLog

Have not tested this version though.

John, I will add the functionality to gedit-latex plugin once this plugin is stable enough.  We thought we need a special plugin since we want to maintain this inside gnome. The gedit-latex support synctex only with the internal previewer.

Screenshot: Should not specify arbitrary colors

There must be a way to specify the highlighting by recurrence to the gtksourceview theme colors.

The current color makes text unreadable in some themes.

Thought this wasn’t worth it’s own bug report.

Thanks for reporting this, I already fixed it in gnome-2-32 branch. Now the plugin uses the 'search-match' style to do the highlighting.

Closing since the plugin has already landed in the gedit-plugins module. Please feel free to open new bugs on the plugins component of gedit if you detect a problem with the plugin.
