[OS X TeX] FlashMode, Up Close and Personal, TeX plug-in

[Claus Gerhardt]

The more recent Flashmode applets, including those used in version  
4.2, call shell scripts located in their bundle and not those in ~/ 
Library/Flashmode/bin. Thus, you either have to edit the shell scripts  
inside the applets or add the corresponding first line in your  
documents, which I would recommend.

For new documents I use a template with the specific first line and  
for older once the script below which I saved as macro in TS.

set insertText to "pdflatex"

set pasteText to "%&" & insertText & " "

tell application "TeXShop"
	activate
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "TeXShop"
			keystroke pasteText
		end tell
	end tell
	
end tell
