Well, doing the forward search on the last updated filetype (or all open filetypes) seems reasonable if the user doesn't specify a file type. This would save the use from having to have shortcuts for "forward search" with each file type (unless they really want to). > The point is that in the command you have to specify either the .dvi > or .pdf file, so you have to know for which kind of output you want > to perform a forward search.

Slightly OT, but typically switch branches more often than output types, so it would be nice if I could define Ctrl-D to be with the "Draft" branch and Ctrl-T to be without (but both outputting PDF). -- John C.
