Manually killing pdf viewer prevents vim from opening it again

[Unaimend]

Hi,

When I knit a document to pdf it automatically opens my pdf viewer as expected.
Setting let R_openpdf = 1 also results in a correct update of the window when I DONT close it manually. But in the case where I manually close zathura THEN switch back to nvim and re-execute the pdf Zathura will not open again. I attached a video. I hope this helps. Might also be some stupid thing just happening on my system

Thomas

P.S. I tried to look into it but vimscript is killing me

What you want should be achieved with R_openpdf=2, but, at least on Wayland, the option no longer works. Please, see: #783 (comment)

I made some changes. The issue seems to be fixed on Sway. Maybe it is fixed on the X Server too if the return value of wmctrl is different from 0 when it fails to raise a window.

I believe the issue is fixed. If not, please, reopen it.
