Documentation

Non-nil means, turn automatic recentering of *TOC* window on.

When active, the *TOC* window will always show the section you are currently working in. Recentering happens whenever Emacs is idle for more than reftex-idle-time seconds.

Value t means, turn on immediately when RefTeX gets started. Then, recentering will work for any TOC window created during the session.

Value \+frame (the default) means, turn automatic recentering on only while the dedicated TOC frame does exist, and do the recentering only in that frame. So when creating that frame (with d key in an ordinary TOC window), the automatic recentering is turned on. When the frame gets destroyed, automatic recentering is turned off again.

This feature can be turned on and off from the menu
(Ref->Options).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
