Hi Chris and Others, Command+f to find the first instance of a string and Command+g to find all subsequent matches is the general Mac shortcut for searching. The VoiceOver search syntax uses this format. Yes, using Command+Shift+g will find the previous entry. One thing that is different about using Command+f and Command+g instead of VO+Command+G is that you won't hear the sounds for reaching the end of the file -- the shortcut just cycles you to the next instance of a match starting from the beginning of the file. However, you don't need to press the VO keys when you search this way.
Sarah, I wasn't aware you were using TeXShop. Is this for music scores (e.g. muTeX?) If so, how does that work out? I only use TeX for regular word processing and layout.
