Latex-workshop: No PDF viewer ?

[s-ilic]

Hi there everyone,

Sorry in advance, this is most likely a very stupid question : I got VSCode installed recently on my Linux distro (Linux Mint 17.3), as well as the Latex Workshop extension.

My problem is that I can't seem to be able to use the PDF viewer at all... I don't see any option anywhere for opening the PDF in a new tab, or anything ! The Latex toolchain, building, etc., work find, but no PDF is opened after that...

You'll find a full log below, if it can help.

Thanks in advance !
Cheers

Its CTRL-ALT-T or CTRL-ALT-L then select, or click the tick in the status bar and select.

By the way, this raises my thought. Would it be helpful if there is a new config controlling the post-build-show-pdf behavior?

Thanks for the help ! I think that such a new config might be useful indeed :-)

Cheers !
