[OS X TeX] encoding and special characters in TexShop

[Alex Hamann]

It´s almost embarassing to ask:

1. Encoding:
when choosing a given way of encoding my tex documents can that make  
calling the inputenc package obsolet?
to be precise: can I not call the inputenc package when encoding a  
german document with isolatin?

2. i noticed that iTexMac and Aquamacs display the German Umlaute  
correctly in the editor window. TexShop seems to insist in converting  
them directly in the Tex commands (\"u, etc.) - no matter how the  
document is encoded. Is there a way to teach TexShop the other  
behaviour?

Am I confusing things?

Thx,
