For what it's worth, I want to make a comment, which is that I very
much dislike the way the "Find" menu is buried in the Edit menu in
XCode 3.0; and I have a question, which is, what happened to the
"find selected text in same document" operation, something I used
all the time in 2.5 and miss dearly in 3.0. Maybe I just don't see it.
The menu item you're referring to appears to be called "Find Selected
Text". It's below "Find Next" in the Xcode 2.5 (and earlier) Find
menu, but missing from the Edit -> Find submenu in Xcode 3.0.
You can still use Cmd-E (Use Selection For Find) and Cmd-G (Find Next)
to get the same functionality, although it's two (standard) keystroke
shortcuts instead of one (user-added) keystroke shortcut.
You'll see that 3.0 has fewer top-level menus and menu items than 2.5.
This was deliberate, to keep the Xcode menu bar and menus from growing
too large and cumbersome/intimidating. In some cases, menu items were
removed when it was determined that the given functionality was seldom
used or could be accessed in other ways.
For instance, in 3.0, there's no longer a "Rename" menu item under the
File menu, which could be used in 2.5 to rename a selected group or
file in the project window. Most people didn't even know it was there
and used the Rename menu item in the group/file contextual menu. In
3.0, you can also just click on the group/item name and get an edit
text box without needing to resort to a menu item at all.
If you want a particular menu or menu item back the way it was, file a
bug, but we do have to balance features and visibility against
complexity.
