This is a very good idea, thanks! I find that sometimes, using my DE tab
switching (alt+tab on GNOME) is quicker than changing Emacs buffer, so
that may be a good tip.

I'm quite conflicted about it :-)
On one hand, it is specifically designed for academics, and it works
decently well; on the other, it has Vim-style keybindings (that may
overridden tho), and as I was saying it isn't always able to reconstruct
the hyperlinks if the pdf is old. But again, I'm starting to suspect
this is a limitation intrinsic to the quality of the pdf, and that there
isn't a magical tool to perform so accurate OCR. However, if any one has
comments or suggestions about this, they're welcome.

In fact, I have, but just barely. Until now, I sticked to Sioyek since I
needed to read almost exclusively old papers. But I'm willing to explore
it further.
