Here it is:

In order to facilitate later archive searches, features being  
suggested/requested on this list should probably be suggested/ 
requested and discussed IN SEPARATE THREADS, UNDER THEIR OWN NAME,  
rather than in this thread. Note that this List of feature requests on  
this list does refer to such posts for details.

Suggesting a TeXShop feature on this list is absolutely not an  
alternative to making a request at  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=155796&atid=797241 
  .

This "wish list" is a compilation of TeXShop features being suggested/ 
requested on this list. Omissions result from my negligence rather  
than from my malevolence. (This thread started as a way to gauge the  
importance accorded to features suggested/requested on this list but,  
while "voting" didn't seem to generate much interest, "keeping track"  
seems to have.)

============================================
Newly Granted Wish(es)"".

New Wish(es):
============================================

Features requests that are indented were granted and remain here only  
for the record.

Hopeful regards
--schremmer

		—A: Line numbers in the source file window (that the Console refers  
to) as an option (to turn it off on simple documents) TeXShop now has  
optional line numbers (At least as of v2.25)

		—B: Change font size in the source window (Available: Source > Font  
 > Bigger/Smaller)

		—C: Change Command I  from meaning Source > Font > Italic to a  
keyboard command for \emph (Available under Leopard: Goedde, March 24,  
2008 11:35:58 AM EDT & Also works for Tiger: Munn March 30, 2008  
7:26:50 PM EDT)

		—D: Change Command B from meaning Source > Font > Bold to a keyboard  
command for \textbf (Available under Leopard: Goedde, March 24, 2008  
2:43:20 PM EDT & Also works for Tiger: Munn March 30, 2008 7:26:50 PM  
EDT)

E—A way to collapse one or more sections' text / better yet an  
outliner mode

F1—A SECOND Typeset button, one that does NOT save at the same time
F2—A preference option to control whether Typeset saves or not - and  
link that to the keyboard typeset command.
F3—Have a Command-click/Option-click/Control-click choice that runs  
the file but doesn't save it. (See Litchfield, March 3, 2009 4:14:29  
PM EST)

		—G: Let the bottom of the source window be standard, with a  
horizontal scroll bar (Available: Source > Wrap Lines > None)

		—H: The ability to split the output window as well as the source  
window (if possible with sync) TeXShop can split the output window  
with sync support. TeXShop does not sync the top portion of source to  
the top portion of output and the bottom portion of source to the  
bottom portion of output. Instead, sync from either portion of source  
syncs to the active portion of output. Thus, wishes R1 and R2 have  
been considered as granted.

		—I: A button in the source window to open the output window (To  
bypass the menu's File > Open for Preview)( Available: a) Window >  
Source<>Preview, b) with a key press: Apple-1)

		—J: Cursor staying put (Available: Pref > Document > Select on  
Activate)
