Well. 1. C-c C-r C-m is not /that/ slower than C-c C-c C-m ;-). You only select the region once (with C-c C-t C-r) and it persists until “unpinned”. 2. I did not get your second part. AFAIK, it is impossible to compile just one file in the document and still get the whole pdf as a result. I agree with backward search, it might not work (I don't know, I hardly ever use it – I have C-s and C-r and don't feel the need for it...). > Best, Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
