[OS X TeX] automatic superscript braces in TeXShop editor

[Nitecki, Zbigniew H.]

Thanks for the advice; I followed it, and now the key binding list has a line with input ^ and output ^{#SEL##INS},
but when I type x^y, I get that, not x^{y}.  Do I need to quit TeXShop for it to take effect?

I have for a long time had a setting in my TeXShop editor that automatically enclosed the contents of a superscript in braces (i.e., typing ^ yielded ^{}).  I have no memory how I accomplished this, but it must have been by checking a box, since I am not even remotely an Applescript guy.  Very recently, this feature disappeared (it may have been when I installed TS 3.06), and I looked through various manuals to see how
to restore it, but have not found it.  Does anyone have a suggestion how to do it?

Howdy,

Open the Key Bindings Editor (Source->Key Bindings->Edit Key Bindings File…) and look at the list. Put ^ in the Input: pane and ^{#SEL##INS#} in the Output: pane and press the + button; that adds the new key binding to the list. Hope this helps.

Good Luck,
