- Thread-topic: from symbol name to full documentation in Xcode 4
The modifiers aren't obvious to me - I usually go to documentation by using the popup menu; if there's a way to get to documentation from there I haven't found it.
... OK, now what? I command-option clicked it, there's now an extra pane in my window that shows the header file for it, but the close button on that pane is disabled.
A week or so ago I accidentally toggled the XCode 3 "Grouped" icon and suddenly XCode was ignoring my attempts to open multiple files at once. Interestingly, at the same time a co-worker had toggled it the opposite way and it was ignoring his attempts to replace one file with another in the same window. He may well love XCode 4 when we have to switch - I *don't*. I like my clutter. I'm optimized for clutter. I can be working on several different problems in the same project, each involving 5 or so interrelated files, and keep all those windows open and straight in my head. This thing is annoying me enough on my toy projects with under a dozen source files *total* - there's no way I could do any real work with it in the project that has *hundreds*.

I see that I can get exactly where I want to go by clicking in Quick Help, but what I'm wondering is if there's a way to avoid Quick Help as an intermediary. m.

Have you tried just holding down the most obvious modifiers and moving the mouse?
