Description
I would really appreciate if when we click somewhere in the Preview Pane, the cursor match the position in the Editor Pane.
I often proofread my document using the Preview, and when I find a typo, to fix it, I need to search the same text in the Editor.
It would be easier to just click on the Preview, and have the focus given to the Editor pane with the cursor matching the new point.
Same for selection of a word.
PS : love your app, thank you!
