Size To Fit Content .. and ctrl-drag

Is there a reason the Size To Fit Content option, or the keyboard equivalent ⌘-= has an aversion to becoming or remaining, enabled? If you select an element by actually clicking on, it it's enabled, but many edits, for instance changing the text in a label, disables it again, at the very time you want to use it! So you have to deselect it and re-select it again before you can size it to fit.

Selecting an element the other way, from the list at the left-hand side of the screen selects the element but doesn't enable Size To Fit Content at all. This means buried elements require using ctrl-shift-click on-screen to select them in a way that lets you size them to fit.

I can't really think of a good reason it's ever disabled when anything at all is selected but it often seems to be.

And with ctrl-drag now used for autolayout (I love autolayout since Xcode 5) is there a magic key combination which allows you to hook up outlets and actions, which ctrl-drag used to do? I've been using right-click and then hooking up from the HUD which is somewhat less convenient than dragging if you have just one or two to do, or are connecting to different objects.
