Correct way to configure texcompile in Linux

[CarlosGrohmann]

Hi,

I've been trying to get texcompile to work on Linux, but without success. I found an issue at the Lite-XL repo (lite-xl/lite-xl#523), but they only discuss Windows.

I have this in my usersettings.lua:

["plugins"] = {
  ["texcompile"] = {
    ["latex_command"] = "latexmk -c -lualatex",
    ["view_command"] = "evince"

But I cant get it to compile much less to visualize the pdf.

Any help appreciated.

I have this in my usersettings.lua:

["plugins"] = {
  ["texcompile"] = {
    ["latex_command"] = "latexmk -c -lualatex",
    ["view_command"] = "evince"

It looks like the plugin is using the wrong config location. It's trying to read from config.texcompile, not config.plugins.texcompile as one would expect.
Try using that table instead.

Let me know if you want to make a PR for the plugin to use the expected table, or I'll make one later this week.
