… when you do … what? The other thing that's surprising is that there's no way to remap the option/command/shift combos for click navigation (in the general prefs pane). every other possible thing/key/action in Xcode can be rebound (which is most excellent!), yet the cornerstone navigation mod keys can't? anyone endeavored to hack or workaround this apparent limitation? i feel like it would be a day's worth of work (minus QA) for an apple engineer to have those mod keys be re-mappable.
It's a design decision, and I doubt there's much chance of it changing. The behavior of the option key is reserved consistently to mean "do this in the assistant editor rather than the main editor". Therefore, there's no opportunity to remap using option key combinations. (Within the universe of navigation functions, I guess I mean. There are non-navigation functions that use the option key normally, and I assume you can remap those.)
On the one hand, it's terribly convenient to know that adding the option key to another shortcut will use the assistant editor. On the other, it is burdensome because there are so few available shortcut key combinations.
