In most of Apple's applications, pressing Command + Alt + F will set
focus on the "main" search field belonging to the window (Mail, Safari
etc.). In Xcode's documentation window, it would be nice to be able to
get there by using the same shortcut, so that one does not have to tab
all over the place to get there.

According to these old release notes, such a functionality has been
there: http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/DeveloperTools/RN-DocumentationXcode2_3/index.html

Am I missing something, or is this just not implemented in Xcode 3?

I usually bring up the documentation window using the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-? (where ? is Shift-/ on a U.S. keyboard). When I do that, the search field has focus by default. Your question prompted me to check... that shortcut gives focus to the search field even if the window is already open. Neat! :)


Cheers,
Ken
