-keep (.keepPosition) Sets a flag to indicate that xdvi should not move to the home position when moving to a new page. See also the ‘k' keystroke. This flag is only honoured by the up() and down() actions, not by up-or-previous() and down-or-next().

--keep

Yes, --keep. I always thought this was a great feature of xdvi. Since I have changed over exclusively to making pdfs (pdflatex), I miss this feature as xpdf does not seem to have anything equivalent. It's annoying to have to recenter the page every time a new page is displayed.
