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 later archive searches, features being
suggested/requested on this list should probably be suggested/
requested and discussed IN SEPARATE THREADS, UNDER THEIR OWN NAME,
rather than in this thread.
Hopeful regards
