Is there an option to force building PDFs?

[lirm-math]

When Ctrl+B is pressed, LT calls latexmk (taking TeX Live as an example) and compiles the TeX file. If the TeX file is not changed, latexmk will skip compiling the TeX file, and show the PDF file (if exists) directly.

However, in some occasions, if an exterior file (e.g., a BIB, a JPG, or an \includeed file) is changed, we have to rebuild the PDF file. In this case, pressing simply Ctrl+B won't work.

To solve this problem, I type some space-bars and then Ctrl+S. Then Ctrl+B.

Is there another way to do this?

Thank you so much for your reading.

Personally, at least for small documents, I use Ctrl+L, backspace, which usually deletes enough to force a rebuild.
