Hot reload extension for Overleaf to use the text editor and PDF compiler in different windows.

This project is a Chrome extension that, when in an Overleaf project, opens the compiled pdf in a new tab. I built this because I prefer the local TeX experience where I can typeset in one window and leave the compiled pdf in another window; however, Overleaf doesn't have this functionality.

• Split view for multiple Windows.

• Boost your productivity with Overleave.

• Minimalistic Interface and Usability shortcuts.

You can run the extension in any chromium based web browser. To run in developer mode, you can:

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to chrome:https://extensions/
3. Enable the "Developer mode" switch in the top right
4. Click "Load Unpacked" in the left hand side
5. Upload the project

If you are using the Overleave extension, but everytime you update your project the PDF gets download follow this steps:

1. Open the Google Chrome settings.
2. Look for the "Privacy and security" section in the navigation bar.
3. Click under the "Site Settings" option and click it.
4. Scroll down and look for the "Content" Section.
5. Click under the "Additional content settings" option.
6. Click under the "PDF documents" option.
7. Select the "Open PDFs in Chrome" option.

1. Open the Microsoft Edge settings.
2. Look for the "Cookies and Site permissions" section in the navigation bar.
3. Scroll down and look for the "PDF documents" option and click it.
4. Deactivate the "Always download PDF files" option by clicking the toggle.

• Fix glitches in the toggle due to missing clicks.
• Availability in Chrome for Overleave extension.
• Guidelines in the UI for usability.
