Yeah, I like the behaviour, not the name.
Could you have "view source" and "view output"?

Hmmm. I suppose so.
In that case I would like to put in a feature request to implement 
equivalent behaviour to TeXShop's "goto line" command, but there's no 
rush. TeXShop has some other things that need implementing before it's 
feasible to automatically install scripts, so my little project is 
going very slowly at the moment.

Thanks
