Sweet, thanks for that (cmd-opt-arrows) - the silver lining of whine
emails - you get told the shortcut key...
That recent list kinda disappears if you close the window of course.
I use condensed, I like having mainly one editor window, a project
window, maybe some other editors dotted around...
thanks
Rua HM.

I have a lot of gripes about Xcode as well, some of which have been
mentioned here. Currently my biggest gripe is the poor/random
performance of Code Sense and auto-completion (I primarily do C++),
including occasional crashing which requires rebuilding the index
for each project. However, i think some of your issues are already
taken care of.
* I run Xcode in the "All-In-One" layout. This makes it much more
usable for me.
* To switch between header/source (the "Counterpart"), use Cmd+Opt
+UpArrow.
* To move back and forth in your recent files, use Cmd+Opt
+LeftArrow and Cmd+Opt+RightArrow.
* There is a recent file list dropdown at the top of the editor
pane, in addition to the function list dropdown, bookmarks
dropdown, etc.
* To comment/uncomment a block of code, select the block and press
Cmd+/
HTH.

Good to see some good ol' Xcode bashing/constructive criticism on
this list.
I have to agree strongly & wholeheartedly with the point abould
control-tab. This to me breaks a universal and fundamental UI
convention.
I realise I can open all my files in separate editor windows, but
I'd prefer to have a quick way to switch files in the current
editor wndow without using the mouse.
This coupled with the lack of a recent file list for source files
is probably my biggest gripe about Xcode.
I guess I should file a bug...

My First Eight Hours with XCode :
(or what I couldn't figure out how to do)
From the tiny things, like no shift-delete to remove a line, to
the big things like instance member completion for standard
library classes - how do we switch between code windows in x-
code? I miss control-tab.
No comment-selection? Surely I just don't know how to do it in
xcode... i select some text and press (what?_) and the selected
lines are commented -
A little light on the API reference, come on apple, we all used
java, we know it isn't hard to run doxygen over our source code -
thankfully we have "jump to definition" ...
of course, the "goto last cursor position" for debugging purposes
is a must -
and whoa, what happened to "open <#included file> in new editor"
I guess they were concentrating on getting the MP stuff working.
It would be highly excellent if the xcode debugger visualisers
for the standard library collection classes were a little less
than entirely useless.
Okay apple? That's <vector>, <map> and <string> for starters :)
On the plus side, xcode looks like a promising foundation for a
truly killer development environment. It's completely tricked out
with windows and views galore! And while it takes a little
getting used to, it is a comfortable environment, well organised
and comprehensive.
If the evil empire didn't produce the ultimate ide in 2005
(there's no doubt) I wouldn't even have to switch the pc on. But
until Apple comes to the party, i still have to edit my deep c++
stuff in the m$ ide. Oh well, hello parallels i guess. For the
time being.
hey apple guys, check out anjuta - there are about three features
you missed!
