That's fantastic! Thanks for telling! =)

To docs are still very preliminary - I still need to rewrite them
almost completely a few more times... in particular, I implemented
this feature:

  (find-eev "eev-kla.el" "guess")
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eev-kla.el.html#guess

only five days ago, and I need to reorder the docs to make them treat
that method of choosing a preferred "c" by "guessing" the main one,
and treat the method that uses dir-local variables as something for
experts...

About the feature requests:

> 1) Could you add an automatically inserted comment for LaTeX-files too? -> %%
> double %%  to easly disguish added links

This is partially explained in this section:

  (find-eevfile "eev-kla.el" "10. Bidirectional links")
  (find-eevfile "eev-kla.el"   "2. The comment prefix")
  (find-eevfile "eev-kla.el"   "3. The command `M-x kli'")

The comment prefix can only be added when the link is inserted,
because it depends on the buffer in which the sexp is being inserted,
and it is added by `M-x kli'/`M-x ee-kl-insert'.

The comment prefix is determined by these functions,

  ;; «ee-kl-format2»  (to ".ee-kl-format2")
  ;; «ee-kl-insert»  (to ".ee-kl-insert")
  ;; Test: (ee-kl-format2-for-mode)
  ;;
  (defun ee-kl-format2-for-mode (&optional mode)
    (let ((plist '(emacs-lisp-mode ";; %s"
                   haskell-mode    "-- %s"
                   lua-mode        "-- %s"
                   python-mode     "# %s"
                   agda2-mode      "-- %s"
                   latex-mode      "%% %s")))
      (plist-get plist (or mode major-mode))))

  (defun ee-kl-format2 (str)
    (format (or ee-kl-format2 (ee-kl-format2-for-mode) "%s") str))

  ;; Used by `M-x kli'
  (defun ee-kl-insert (&optional str)
    (interactive)
    (let* ((str1 (or str (car kill-ring)))
           (str2 (ee-kl-format2 str1)))
      (insert str2)))

and as this is a prototype 1) the function `ee-kl-format2-for-mode' is
intended to be overriden by the user, 2) I forgot to explain this in
the code! =( So one way to use "%%" instead of "%" in LaTeX files is
to redefine `ee-kl-format2-for-mode' to:

  (defun ee-kl-format2-for-mode (&optional mode)
    (let ((plist '(emacs-lisp-mode ";; %s"
                   haskell-mode    "-- %s"
                   lua-mode        "-- %s"
                   python-mode     "# %s"
                   agda2-mode      "-- %s"
                   latex-mode      "%%%% %s")))
      (plist-get plist (or mode major-mode))))

I usually use `M-2 M-e' and `M-3 M-e' to open targets of links at the
window at the right. They are explained here:

  (find-efunctiondescr 'ee-eval-sexp-eol "2:")
  (find-efunctiondescr 'ee-eval-sexp-eol "3:")
  (find-efunction 'ee-eval-last-sexp-2)
  (find-efunction 'ee-eval-last-sexp-3)

They use this:

  (find-multiwindow-intro "2. `find-wset'")
  (find-multiwindow-intro "3. High-level words")
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-multiwindow-intro.html#2
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-multiwindow-intro.html#3

It is easy - I mean, for people who know all the tricks =/ - to define
variants of `M-2 M-e' and `M-2 M-e' that open the target in the window
at the left. Here's one way to do that:

  (defun ee-eval-last-sexp-25 ()
    "Like `M-2 M-e', but shows the target at the left."
    (find-wset "13_o" '(ee-eval-last-sexp)))

  (defun ee-eval-last-sexp-35 ()
    "Like `M-3 M-e', but shows the target at the left and switches to it."
    (find-wset "13_" '(ee-eval-last-sexp)))

Yes, but I will need a more precise specification of what is the
three-window setting that you want to have in the end, and I will need
to write a bit on non-trivial code to save the configuration of the
second window in a variable before running the equivalent to `C-x
1'...

The variable `ee-foodir' and the function `ee-foofile' are low-level
things that are used in functions like `find-foofile'. I was expecting
that people would figure that out when they read the code shown by:

  (find-code-c-d "foo" "/tmp/FOO/")

By the way, note that

  (find-eev "eev-kla.el" "eekla2")

may not be very useful by itself, but it can be used as an inspiration
for writing variants - for example, a variant that simply inserts a
link to "here" in the current position of the point the other window,
and then goes back...

Not at all! =)
