This feature is independent of the screen since it only switches to the text where the cursor had been at the last closing of the source window by saving that position in a .position file at closing. When Flashmode is started to control the document it will try to read this information and will ask TeXShop to move the cursor accordingly.

I am normally using at least two source windows and two pdf windows but what probably complicates matters is that I am using two screens.

Howdy,

Hello Claus! It has been along time since I last heard from you. I hope all is well with you.

For those interested in more information about FlashMode go to <https://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/Flashmode/#x1-1100010> to see download links and the instruction manual.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
