[OS X TeX] Moving cursor with keyboard in Texshop

[Frederick Hoyt]

Most of the curvor navigation commands from Emacs work in Texshop:

c-a 	"move to beginning of line"
c-e	"move to end of line"
c-f	"move forward one character"
c-b	"move back one character"
c-n	"move down one line"
c-p	"move up one line"
c-v	"scroll up"

The commands I am familiar with from Emacs which do not work are those 
which involve the alt/escape/command key, since these are bound to 
OSX-particular functions. There's probably a way to turn off these 
bindings or redefine them, but I don't know what that is.

There's also the pg-up, pg-dn, home, and end buttons on the Mac 
keyboard.

Hope that helps,

Fred Hoyt

"Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on 
top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of 
things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible 
concentration."
