You'd think that, but different people have very different working
styles. In all of my years of using Xcode (and ProjectBuilder before
it), I'd never thought about the lack of such a feature.; and now, as
one of those Apple developers both working *on* Xcode as well as *in*
Xcode every day, it still hadn't occurred to me. What may be an
obvious no-brainer to someone, may have never crossed the mind of
someone else. This is why it's always very important to file bugs
whenever you encounter something like this, even if it is obvious to
you.

Indeed, just because two features are in the same product doesn't mean
that they were implemented by the same person, or that implementing
one was done to the exclusion of the other.
