Try lifting just the Xcode application, transfer it to your laptop,
and see how it flies.
As Chris points out, this is doomed to failure. Installing Xcode on a
system without the full Xcode Tools suite is not supported or
recommended.
Code sense, however, is out of the question. Code sense uses the
compiler, which requires all of the headers to be installed, which
require the frameworks to be installed, ...
While this used to be true back in the Project Builder days, Xcode
doesn't use gcc for generating the data CodeSense uses (which is why
you can get code completion and definition info without having built
your project).
And, of course, you won't get any of the documentation.
The problem is that Xcode is an IDE. It's the "I" that gets you.
Personally, I'd suggest using BBEdit.
Yes, Xcode was never meant to be used as just a text editor.
