I've been wondering the same. I believe the old keyboard shortcut was ⌘0, which is now the toggle for showing/hiding the Navigator pane.
I went to Preferences > Key Bindings and entered "project" in the search field. Didn't see anything promising, though of course I could have missed something. Maybe there's some way to do it with AppleScript.
I did manage to cobble together a Keyboard Maestro macro that seems to work:
1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit the Home key
3. Pause for 1 second
4. Click the window at (25,100)
Step 1: Put keyboard focus on the Project Navigator.
Step 2: Scroll to the top of the file list.
Step 3: Insert a pause, because otherwise the mouse click in step 4 comes prematurely.
Step 4: Click on the top item in the file list.
If this seems like a crazy long way to get the desired result, I agree! You'd *think* this would work:
1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit Option-UpArrow
Option-UpArrow is the standard Mac shortcut for selecting the top item in a list. But in the Project Navigator, it also has the effect of opening the Assistant Editor, with the project settings pane on the *right* side (the assistant pane). I suspect this is because of the logic that Xcode uses when you Option-click a file, which puts that file in the assistant pane.
I wouldn't mind working around this with one more keystroke -- a Command-Return to return to the Standard Editor -- but this focuses on the file that was in the *left* pane, not the project settings pane.
For a moment I thought this worked:
1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit COMMAND-Option-UpArrow
Command-Option-UpArrow selects the top item in the Project Navigator *without* opening the Assistant Editor. But it doesn't change the contents of the editor pane, so it doesn't help.
I'd be curious to know if there's a sensible way that works.
