[OS X TeX] 1) Search source file when preview is active (`front'). 2) Incremental search

[Nicolae Garleanu]

Thanks, Michael, I¹ll try it out. In the meantime, a quick question: Why
is the first loop necessary? (Or is it just to give me another
idea/example?)

One thought I had had, working under the assumption of being already in a
file associated with the source I wanted (i.e., pdf/console) was to first
execute the cmd-F2 and then shft-cmd-F2. Since I left for later figuring
out how to code that in applescript (now I know!), I didn¹t try it.
