[OS X TeX] Mac Preview

Thanks to both Herb and John.   The Mac/Preview commands are most needed because the 
pdf viewer built into TeXShop very helpfully has page numbers, scale and back and forth
arrows right in the toolbar.   In fact, I sometimes use it to read pdfs when I have the TeX
source handy, just because these are such useful features.

Best,
Bob

I think what was meant was the Preview app of macOS, not the preview window of
TeXShop.  The default for jumping back is cmd/[.  Have a look at Preview's Go menu.
