Option-DoubleClick performs the *search* in the organizer, but it doesn't display the actual search result - it doesn't *go* to the actual documentation on the actual thing you double-clicked on. This was a very, very important feature of Xcode 3: you could jump *instantly* from a term to the full documentation on that term. Now, that same operation is a multi-clicky-bangy sequence; either:

And this still (4.2.1) doesn't work when XCode4 doesn't try to index your project, even for the AppKit classes it ought to know about.

Yes. XCode3's indexing may have been sub-par (or so I'm told; it worked for my weird project), but at least it tried. _______________________________________________
