[OS X TeX] BBEdit/Skim synchronization is not working

Well this is frustrating. I’ve even installed a fresh version of Skim, and that doesn’t work. What I haven’t tried is trashing Skim’s preferences, because I can’t even locate Skim’s preferences via the finder. And other then that, I’m running out of ways of diagnosing the problem.

I can use Sneep’s script to sync BBEdit —> Skim from the script menu, and that does work. Again, shift-command-click works for TextWrangler, but does not work for BBEdit.

I don’t have a keystroke assigned to synching BBEdit->Skim so I am placing the cursor in the source text then selecting the AppleScript from the BBEdit AppleScript menu.

I checked versions of BBEdit back to 11.0.3, and none of them work, although 11.0.3 certainly worked previously. So, this is a very odd situation. I’ve been in contact with Bare Bones Software, and just sent them my latest observations. I haven’t yet contacted the Skim people, I suppose because the last time I did it was kind of a painful process.

So, is it El Capitan, the very recent Skim update, or the very recent BBEdit update? I suppose I could fish older versions of Skim and BBEdit out of Time Machine, but it’s getting late and it will have to wait until tomorrow.
