It’s as if you were relaxing in a room with the lights switched off and suddenly someone walked in and abruptly turned the lights on.Īs you are coding along you have to switch back and forth multiple times between your PDF reader and code editor.

Immediately your eyes are shocked with bright luminescent white light. The default setting is black text on white background. This greatly reduces the strain on the eyes.īut let’s say you are also following along an e-book, maybe a PDF and you switch to Sumatra PDF. If you code for long periods of time, then it’s really great to have your code editor run in dark mode. It’s small in size, super-fast and doesn’t have any annoying cruft. It has never crashed for me, either.ĭespite the description above, the zip-version available from the website is indeed not fully portable, it does write settings in Documents and Settings.A dark mode for Sumatra PDF is really easy – you just need to tinker with 3 lines of code in the settings. (I don't know if this is a bug or intended behavior.) Quite rarely, search won't find text even though it's there.

It copies everything covered by the yellow area, regardless of words or lines, so you'll have to carefully avoid getting to close to characters you don't want to be copied.Īlso, when you paste the copied text, there's always a line-break at the end.

It's a bit tricky to find, however: To mark text, left-click and drag while keeping CTRL pressed. Regarding some old posts above: The new version 0.8 is as fast as it probably can get - and supports searching, selecting and copying text to the clipboard (no "select all" function, though).
