Syncing skim with LyX

[ehud.behar at protonmail.com]

With the help of Stephan Witt and Udicoudco, I am now using Skim to open the pdf files produced by LyX. But I want to add SyncTeX to that.

I configured LyX and Skim according to what is written in the wiki page (https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX) but I am not sure if everything is set up correctly or no, since I don't know how to initiate SyncTeX to work. I double clicked a word of text in Skim and nothing happened (no change of active window to LyX).

How does one uses SyncTeX with skim?

Thanks very much for your help!
