<div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 17.0px;color: black;">The TeXShop Manual contains a chapter listing all hidden preferences, including this one.</div>
<div>But if you didn't know that it was there, I'm not sure how you'd find it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A temporary preference to fix a bug which should soon be properly fixed by Apple will be a hidden preference. Any preference item requested by just a few people, but difficult to explain to other users, will be a hidden preference. A preference item requested by many users, but which I think is a bad idea, will be a hidden preference (example: turning off automatic saving). </div>

<div>Actually delving into the source a bit more, there is limited support for expl3 syntax already, with the hidden preference that came with v4.10.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>defaults write TeXShop expl3SyntaxColoring YES</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This at least formats code like \l_mymodule_foo:Nnn blue in the editor, which is an improvement over the default. But it would be nice to further distinguish functions from variables. I don't understand the code well enough to add that change, however.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, I've never quite understood the criteria for making something a hidden preference vs. a selectable preference in the preference panes.</div>
