[OS X TeX] Tabs in TS

Just in case:  If all you wish to know is where the file opened by texdoc
is located, you can use the --list option.
For instance:

$ texdoc -l garamondx

 1 /Users/me/Library/texmf/doc/fonts/garamondx/garamondx-doc.pdf

 2 /Users/me/Library/texmf/doc/fonts/garamondx/garamondx-docFr.pdf

 3 /Users/me/Library/texmf/doc/fonts/garamondx/README

Enter number of file to view, RET to view 1, anything else to skip:

which will give you all the possibilities and their locations.
