Using with Auctex

[Sparsa]

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have configured it with Auctex, and it is working as expected. I come from a pdf-tools background, it works much better than pdf-tools in fact I love to use dark mode to view the pdf. The only thing that bothers me is the accuracy of "Double click the left button to edit backward" which is only showing the line but not the word, but in pdf-tools, it was accurate up to words in most cases. In fact, auctex supports this accuracy. It would be great if EAF could be configured to word-level accuracy for reverse searching.

Additional context
My auctex setup is as follows
`(load "auctex.el" nil t t); it loads auctex

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook ;this are the hooks I want to enable during LaTeX-mode
(lambda()
(turn-on-reftex) ;enable reftex

pdf-view return (page-index, x, y) clicked page index, coordinates x and y are counted from the top left corner of the page.

Then using synctex edit get position in .tex file. For my testing, synctex output column field always -1. If synctex edit can return the correct column value, it will so simple to support jump to word (see eaf-pdf-synctex-backward-edit

I see you have kept the x and y co-ordinates in the functions, so some how it should work, and it is not working with synctex. I will try to see if I can find something.

I have also found another issue,
(add-hook 'TeX-after-compilation-finished-functions #'TeX-revert-document-buffer)
does not refresh the pdf buffer, can you check? or it is not needed when using with eaf?
