TeXShop and BBEdit (was Re: [OS X TeX] BBEdit 7.0)

[M. Tamer =?ISO-8859-1?B?1g==?=zsu]

I think the issue is that cmd-shift-L does not work for me. The only way I
could get this to work is a combination of what you said:

- Typeset the document once by dragging it to the TexShop icon in the dock.
- Leave the preview window open.
- Then go to BBEdit and do whatever editing you need to so.
- Save the document in BBEdit.
- Switch over to TeXShop preview window and click the Latex button.

It seems to me that this is way too  many steps to get a simple thing done.

At the risk of being branded a traitor, I use a Windows environment at work
where I use WinEdt/Miktex combination. The interface there is exactly what I
hope Texshop/Tetex combination will evolve to. Major things are done in one
click (probably one of the very few things I like about the Windows
environment).
