Fix typo.
TeXShop can be used as a previewer for an external editor. If you want to edit your source files in a different editor, go to ''TeXShop > Preferences > Source'', and check ''Configure for External Editor''. Then, close and reopen TeXShop.
Detailed instructions about configuring TeXShop to synchronise with an external editor are provided in ''TeXShop > Help > Changes'' and in the documents located in the ''~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/ConTeXt-Sync'' and ''~/Library/TeXShop/ExternalEditorScripts'' folders—so such instructions will not be repeated here, also because they depend on which editor you are using.
The following are a few things you may want to keep in mind if you use an external editor. They certainly apply to TeXShop v4.66; more recent releases may have rectified some of the issues or improved the user experience:
* Even if ''Configure for External Editor'' is checked in you preferences, always open the <code>.tex</code> file in TeXShop, rather than the <code>.pdf</code> file. TeXShop will open the PDF anyway, but by choosing the <code>.tex</code> file, it may have an opportunity to parse the “magic lines” of the source code and configure itself correctly.
