i just set up the interface with X11 to view dvi files with xdvi. the
viewer is great because it's much quicker than preview and is easy to
update.
the reverse search sounds interesting, but i'm not sure how it's
supposed to work in lyx? i edited my latex -> converter so it
includes the source-specials tag (latex --src-special $$i), but when
i ctrl-click from within xdvik, nothing happens. i thought that
reverse searching meant i could click on the dvi file and the cursor
within lyx would go to the clicked location. am i misunderstanding
something? i got the impression from the wiki that i can do reverse
searching between lyx and xdvi. is this possible and what is the
exact syntax to configure? finally, if it's possible to do reverse
searching, can one do forward searching with lyx too?
i'm running lyx 1.4.4 on mac.
thanks,
