Also don't forget that if you want to open a file in a specific

drag the file's icon or proxy (from the Finder, the Groups and

the titlebar proxy icon of another open window) into the File
Navigator of the
window.

This is very cool. Don't think I would have ever found that. BTW, you can
drag to anywhere in the Navigation bar -- not just the File History Menu
popup...

Currently (Xcode 2.3) if I drag a file's icon from the project window into an editing window (the part where the text is), Xcode inserts a URL to the file. This doesn't seem very useful to me. I'd rather see the file's contents, just as if I dragged it to the Navigation bar at the top. I like large drag targets that don't require careful aiming. :-) I could see an argument for inserting the dragged file's contents, but inserting a URL string into my source code just doesn't seem useful at all.

If you put it inside a comment, you can click on that URL and it will open that file.


What would be really cool is if you could add an anchor to that URL and it would find that in your source code (making it easy to add stuff like "see the routine foo() for details").
