[Geany] Forward and Inverse Search in dvi Files

[Kybernetiker]

Thanks for the prompt response. Under source special I mean that if you 
invoke the latex compiler with the --src-specials option, each component 
of the generated dvi file is tagged with the source filename and the 
line number. This allows editor-to-previewer jumps. The forward jump is 
editor-to-previewer: given the current cursor location in the editor, 
jump to the corresponding paragraph in the previewer. The backward jump 
(inverse search) is symmetrical. This convenient feature can be realized 
in many editors, e.g. Kile, TeXnicCenter. But I'm looking for a Gnome 
based LaTeX front-end and Geany seems to suit me best.

Thank you.
