I'm a mathematician who uses evince to read documents pdf documents created
using LaTeX. This process involves making changes to the LaTeX source file and
running pdflatex to produce the pdf output from the LaTeX source. Now, I've
recently upgraded to gnome 2.18 from 2.16 and noticed that the functionality of
ctrl-r which I use to refresh the pdf file in evince after running pdflatex has
changed for the worse in the new version of evince. The gripe is that
previously, if I was working on, say, page 12 of my document, and had evince
open on page 12 of the document, ctrl-r would reload the pdf file while
remaining open on page 12. In the new version of evince, ctrl-r reloads the
document at the first (!!) page, meaning that whenever I make changes to the
source file, I have to run pdflatex, press ctrl-r and then page down from the
first page to page 12 (or whatever page I happen to be working on) to observe
the effect of the changes made in the source
file on the pdf output. This behaviour (which I first recently noticed in the
document viewer that comes with Mac OS X), is a real drag on productivity and
is annoying to say the least.
Now, though the postscript viewer gv does not exhibit this bizarre behaviour,
it is a lot harder on the eyes than evince, meaning that it is not a practical
alternative.
Is there any way to change the default behaviour of ctrl-r in evince?
