Having failed utterly in trying to modify KeyEquivalents.plist to give Edit->Experiment... a key shortcut, I made an AppleScript macro that clicks on Edit->Experiment... and copies the current selection, if non-void, of the tex source file to the Experiment window.

It's available as ExperimentWith.zip at

I've included the last of my failed attempts at KeyEquivalents.plist in the Fails folder of the download. If anyone has some insight into its failure, I'd appreciate it.
