One more thing, sorry.
I remember we talked about removing the second Run command which was
special for LaTeX. Then you added the second Run command generally
(which I actually do like since today because I had an use case
for :D). But we lost the keybinding for the second Run command anyway.
Was this a mistake or on purpose?

It might be a missed something, if so, don't beat too much...:).
