[OS X TeX] Sync from BBEdit to TexShop

[Richard Koch]

David,

I'd also be interested in this. The next version of TeXShop, 4.65, will have enhanced syncing of this sort, particularly for users of ConTeXt. The questions I'd like to see answered are these:

	1) Can BBEdit issue an applescript command?

	2) If not, can BBEdit call a shell script?

	3) Suppose the user clicks a spot in a BBEdit file while holding down the command key, or possibly some other key. Can this event a user defined command? Can it trigger 1) or 2)?

If so, I'll add that information to the 4.65 Changes document.

Since then, I have been using the sync from TexShop with BBEdit, and it works very well and is much appreciated.  But, I have not tried to implement the reverse syncing, from BBEdit to TexShop, and it’s not very clear to me exactly how to go about it, especially since my experience with AppleScript is quite limited.
