Too bad I didn’t have this Xcode trick while I was on Tiger!!
Anyway, I find the single-click editing very slow: there is a
quite long delay before the single click actually has an effect
which is confusing for the user that might be tempted to double-click
instead! I guess this is to allow for an eventual drag operation
start…?
It isn't a long delay -- it is a specific one. The double click
interval. If a double click doesn't come in before that interval, then
it begins editing. Finder works exactly the same way, FWIW. Drag and
drop is another whole ball game, and depends on various settings
(allowsVerticalDrag, etc), but if you click + hold the mouse down, it
won't start editing, so it doesn't conflict.
Side note: there is a way to disable the single-click editing
behavior, however, it should be considered a last resort. Single-
click
editing is nice for consistency on Leopard, and apps that move away
from that will make it more difficult for users to use that
particular
app (ie: your app).

I don’t agree completely: the users are big guys, many things behave
differently
in different apps.
This part of the thread is starting to get off topic. My only
suggestion is to attempt to use the feature as it breeds consistency
for users so they don't get confused why one app does one thing and
another a different thing. But, like I said before, if you want public
API to turn on/off the feature *please* log bugs requesting this.
The new inter-cell navigation is also quite confusing, I’ll probably
post about it, yelling for help.
If you are having problems with the way it behaves or looks, I'd
suggest logging bugs. If you have a question for how to do something
in code with regards to it, feel free to post to the group.
thanks,
