Comments and Reviews
The vim keybindings feature is the best to have in a lightweight PDF viewer, although overusing it may cause it to crash
Minimal. No toolbars, just the document. Keyboard-driven. Vim-like shortcuts. Refreshes the document when the file changes (great for generating PDFs with LaTeX in a simple text editor).
Simple PDF viewer with vi keybindings.
Superb keyboard shortcuts, really fast (especially with mupdf backend)
