hide console window in texshop

Question

I like to work with the tex on one half of the screen and the pdf on the other.

How do I hide the console window (with transcription log, error report, etc) unless there is an error? And how can I keep the focus on the tex window?

That way, I command-T to see my pdf, but keep typing.

You can find options for those in the preferences:

• TeXShop, Preferences, choose tab "Console" and set "Show Console" to "when error occurs" (default is "always")
• TeXShop, Preferences, choose tab "Typesetting" and set "After Typesetting" to "continue editing" (default is "bring preview forward")
