(1) OK, I’ll have to live with the restriction of -interaction=batchmode to just pdflatexmk. But I do often need to do just a (pdf)latex run to check syntax, to proofread, etc.; so for that, when TeXShop gets finicky and freezes, as it sometimes does with my 600+ pages, I’ll have to resort to a Terminal command-line run of pdflatex.

I expect that the  -interaction  switch just inserts a line into the TeX source that is actually run.
You can do this yourself, using primitive commands:

  \errorstopmode
  \scrollmode
  \nonstopmode
  \batchmode

Just put one at the top of your document source.
Or put them all, commented; then uncomment just the mode that you want.

Actually they can go anywhere in your document, to switch mode at that point.
This lets you control whether or not messages get sent to the Console window.
Messages are still written to the .log in any case.

see The TeXBook,  bottom of page 32 or near the bottom of page 277.


(2) Is there a list of all the" % ! …". directives that TeXShop understands? I looked through the various help files and couldn’t find such.

Howdy,

I’ve only adapted most of the latexmk based engines to use that directive. If you use the latexmk engine it should work.

Good Luck,

Hope this helps.
