[OS X TeX] text style and key bindings

[Reich Ingo]

Dear Herbert Schulz, dear Pete,

I finally switched to ctrl+cmd+i; it seems to be easier to change my way of doing things than to change key bindings.

Thanks for your suggestions.
Best, Ingo

Since TexShop, version 2.31, however, this doesn't work properly anymore. The problem seems  to be that in the help menu, the help for packages entry is bound to the same key combination and thus blocks the binding of \textit{} in the macro menu. (When I open the Macro Editor, the key combination alt+cmd+i is still bound to \textit{}.)

Then Opt-Cmd-I will be free to be bound to the Macro. Remove the changes you made to KeyEquivalents.plist.
