Isn't that a useful feature? I noticed that too, and it really comes
in handy, since I don't have to click a thousand times for it to work.
Also, if you define you IB outlets with the class type (there is a name
for this, but I can't remember), it will become even more accurate!

Hi,
It could be documented, or maybe a well known fact, but I just
realized this: in IB, when you connect an outlet to a UI element (or
when you connect an UI element to a target/action), the names of the
variable (or the method) and the title of the widget are used to
propose you the most likely choice in the connection inspector.
For instance, if you connect a button titled 'Select', and you have
many actions with one of them named -selectSomething:, this action
will be selected by default in the Inspector. Cool!
With all the focus on Xcode and frameworks, IB is IMHO the unsung hero
of the Cocoa tool chain. After more than 15 years (NeXTSTEP was
released in 1988), Interface Builder is still one of the best
development tool, all categories included. And it hasn't changed much
in all that time! My thanks to the IB team.
