Not yet. TeXniscope must still been updgraded to use PDFKit, I do not
have any plan about the next release since I'm very much busy with
work. However in the future I hope to implement search.

what I noted is that PDFKit does not have full support of hyperlinks,
in particular I have some pdf produced with dvipdfm+hyperref for view
Preview does not interpret correctly hyperlinks. Somebody else noted
a similar failure?
