That would be

\forward_search "yap -1 -s $$n$$t $$o"

(no typos here, that is right $$n$$t, sigh).

However, I think that we need \forward_search_dvi and \forward_search_pdf
instead of simply \forward_search.

Then, there is another issue. Some applications require that the files are
quoted. However, there is no way to embed a quote in a preference string.
For example, SumatraPDF performs a forward search when it receives the
DDE command [ForwardSearch("file.pdf","file.tex",142,0,0,1)], where the
quotes are essential, but the following line is not correctly parsed:

\forward_search "CMCDDE SUMATRA control 
[ForwardSearch(\"$$o\",\"$$t\",$$n,0,0,1)]"

even escaping the inner quotes. This could be overcome by introducing $$T
and $$O for having the files automatically quoted like this:

    command = subst(command, "$$T", "\\\"" + texname + "\\\"");
    command = subst(command, "$$O", "\\\"" + outname + "\\\"");

otherwise one has to use wrapper scripts.

That's fine with me, but I leave the decision where to add it to our GUI
experts.
