Is there any way to implement in BBEdit the TeXShop equivalent of
"Tags?" This apparent lack is one reason why I've shied away from using
BBEdit, because I like the quick navigation through a document that it
gives us. Am I missing something that anyone else has discovered?
One reason that BBEdit may have become more secret about upcoming
releases is the presence of another editor being developed in Cocoa:
irEdit.

The current version that you can download and try out is promising, but
in its' present state is not at all adequate for LaTeX, especially in
regard to color syntaxing. They are supposedly working on a
"professional" version to come out soon, and they are also being
secretive about their plans.
Meanwhile, I'm still evaluating the open source JEdit which color
syntaxes LaTeX very nicely and flexibly, on the order of iTeXMac, and
which can simulate "Tags" fairly simply using a "hypersearch" feature.
When the current "bleeding edge" beta version goes "stable," I'll give
a complete report. In the meantime, if someone wants to try it out, and
wants to get going quickly with it, I can email some advice. This
editor is actually a double-clickable Java application, but is very
quick on my 550 MHz PB.

I'm very curious about the upcoming AlphaX, and will download the beta
as soon as it comes out.
