how to actually edit source files in Xcode?

Hello all,
I am pretty new to Xcode and Objective-c, so sorry that this is such a basic question: how do I get to the files I want or create new ones? I must also say that I am blind, relying on Voiceover (Apple's built-in screen reader), so keyboard commands or menu items are the only way I can access Xcode. Voiceover can move the mouse pointer to the object Voiceover is on, and then click or even drag (though dragging is sort of hit-or-miss) but that's all I can do with a mouse.

Anyway, what I want to do is play around with capturing keyboard input directly in my window. So I want to set my view as the first responder and then override the keyUp, and maybe some other, events used in NSResponder (from which NSView inherits). Here's the problem: I can't find the actual code where the NSView instance is instantiated. Actually, I can't find any code at all. I have a table inside the mainMenu.xib group (itself in the Source Code group), and this table has appDelegate and all my UI stuff, but I can't seem to show the code at all. Yes, I can go view and edit the files in Finder, but it seems like I should be able to edit code in Xcode... I realize my terms might be confusing, since I am coming at this only able to relate how Voiceover organizes and labels the different elements of the screen, so let me know if I am not making sense and I'll see what I can do to explain this differently. Thanks in advance for any help.


Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
