Describe the solution you'd like [Required]

I wonder if there is a way to go to the preview in the pdf document from the editor for the section that you are currently editing or about to edit. I took a look at the available commands/shortcuts and I cannot find it. The other way around works as expected, I will will 'Ctrl + Left Click' in the pdf document and it will take to the latex code for that particular section. Any help would be much appreciated!

That is called forward synctex. Check the TeX badge in the sidebar for this command.

That's great ! Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

Thanks for the amazing package @James-Yu. I was wondering if there's a way to set a shortcut to this "SyncTeX from cursor" function.

Also, is it possible to do the inverse, i.e., click on the .pdf paragraph text and find the corresponding .tex location?

This should work with Ctrl+left click on the PDF.
