Sometimes I've got my window layout set up just right, and then a command like tex-file stomps all over my hard work. winner-mode helps with one off cases, but tex-file always pops up a new window for the buffer containing the tex compilation. I usually don't care about the compilation, especially since it usually doesn't fail, so let's stop popping up that window:

(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key latex-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-f")
              (lambda ()
                (interactive)
                (save-buffer)
                (save-window-excursion
                  (tex-file))))))

tex-file is usually at C-c C-f, so let's replace it in the key map by my interactive function. It saves the buffer and uses save-window-excursion to keep everything in the same place. Hooray :)
