There's a popup menu up there from which you can select "counterparts". As long as you select files by clicking them in the files tree on the left, it will automatically open the counterpart in the assistant editor. But as soon as you do something else which results in breaking that pairing, it doesn't until you set it back.
And if you’ve overlooked that pop-up, Doug, you’re missing all the other cool stuff the assistant can show. “Callers” is super useful — it’ll let you browse all the methods/functions that call the method/function selected in the main editor. Similarly, “Test Callers” shows all the unit tests that invoke the selected method. “Assembly” can useful when optimizing. And so forth; it’s worth experimenting with.
(You can also access a lot of these directly in the main editor via the funky little “four squares” pop-up menu at its top left. In this case, choosing one jumps the main editor to what you selected.)
Oh, and FYI, if you want to show a specific file in the assistant, option-click it in the file navigator. I use this when I’m working on something that affects two source files at once, like moving some functionality from one class to another.
