For "synchronicity" (a la Textures) you need to follow the instructions in the readme that comes with TexShop, throwing pdfsync.sty into ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex, for example. After that it's just a matter of using
\usepackage{pdfsync}
in your source file and you can command-click in either source or output to "synch" the two files. That is, jump from a given spot in the source/output to the corresponding place in the output/source respectively. It's working really well now.
For more TexShop fun don't forget to use the "esc" key when entering tex commands: it'll try to complete what you're typing, using the entries that you can see (and modify) via the Format->Completion->Open Completion File... menu item. It works beautifully (as does the macro facility). All in all, quite beautiful!

Yes... however, as I added to my own entry, this implementation- requires modifying the source code (I hope it is simply ignored by other TeX implementations, accross platforms, and earlier TeXShop versions... we do collaborate), and
- functions with pdf(la)tex, not with the TeX+GhostScript version.
The Textures' implementation required no modification of the source code (whence perfect compatibility), and worked with Textures own previewing engine (which was based on QuickDraw, I believe) that permitted embedding PostScript objects.
Cheers, Tristan
