How is your Xcode layout and workflow?



Hello List,

I would like to embark on a - hopefully - longer discussion. I like Xcode a lot, and I like the option for various workspace layouts. However, I have not quite figured out my "perfect workflow".

As used to work on Lightspeed, Think and Symantec C, and of course CodeWarrior. But then I have been "brainwashed" by VisualStudio for about five years before I returned to the platform using ProjectBuilder, and subsequently Xcode. In the earlier PB times, I spend a lot of time coding in vim. Consequently, I have filed an ER for vim mode in Xcode, but that is another issue.

So, on single monitor machines I used the "all-in-one" layout, but there are still some things that do not seem naturally for me.

- Is there a shortcut from the Debug to the Project view, so I can pick a file to set breakpoints in?

On multi-monitor machines, I am still trying to figure out what works best for me. The fact that I have to open the console log in every but the "all-in-one" view is one of the things I do not like.

But let's quit the whining:

- What is your Workspace configuration, especially on multi-monitor machines, or machines with plenty of pixel real-estate?

- What are the power workflow-tips you want to share with other Xcode users?

Things like: Did you know
* Cmd-Opt-Up Arrow will open the matching .m/.h file?
* Ctrl-1, 2, 3 and 4 will open history, function list, included files and bookmark menus?


Hopefully this can become an interesting thread, for both casual and habitual users of Xcode.

Alex
