[OS X TeX] Re: List of feature requests on this list

[Alain Schremmer]

This "wish list" is a compilation of TeXShop features being suggested/ 
requested on this list. Omissions result from my negligence rather  
than from my malevolence.

By the way, suggesting a TeXShop feature on this list is absolutely  
not an alternative to making a request at  http://sourceforge.net/ 
tracker/?group_id=155796&atid=797241 . (This thread started as a way  
to gauge the importance accorded to features suggested/requested on  
this list but, while "voting" didn't seem to generate much interest,  
"keeping track" seems to have.)

In order to facilitate archive searches, features being suggested/ 
requested on this list should probably be suggested/requested under  
their own name rather than in this thread.

Idented items are null and void, having, one way or the other,  
already been dealt with. They are still listed for the sake of  
completion.

Hopeful regards
