Suggestions can always be filed via http://bugreport.apple.com and are more likely to get proper consideration by the appropriate team than conversations on a mailing list. In this case I’ve gone ahead and logged the request, but it’s always safest to log suggestions yourself so there’s a way for engineering to ask clarifying questions.

I too find later versions of Xcode lacking intuitive functionality. I still have CodeWarrior on an old Quadra 950 and have to agree that CW was the gold standard IDE. It does seem that early Xcode versions were mimicking CW but over the years, the Xcode IDE has become harder to use. Too many features are being moved around. It took me a while to figure out how to turn off support for PPC in older apps I was updating. In a couple of cases, it's actually been easier to start a new project from scratch rather than fiddle with all the existing settings.
Back on topic, clicking in the memory window to toggle between hex and decimal values is not intuitive at all. CW had that feature in a pull-down menu where it was easily found instead of a hidden
trick we need Apple to tell us about. At Jun 5, 2015, 5:44:29 AM, Dave wrote:Hi,
Thanks I’ll have a play around but it’s still very hard to use compared to other Debuggers I’ve used.
I just checked on an old machine running XCode 3, the Memory display handling is so much better. I thought I remember being able to do all the things I wanted but couldn’t remember which App it was in. I think the XCode 3 way of doing things was copied from CodeWarrior which pretty much set the standard for Mac based development back in the day.

Hi,
Thanks viewing it in a separate window makes things a little easier, but is there a way to get the addresses on the left to display in Hex too? Also is there a way to specify a type that “myBufferPtr” points to as something other than bytes? e.g. Int64, 32, 16, 8 etc and in
Big/Little Endian?
All the Best Dave
How can I View a Raw Buffer in the Debugger?
