Why do you want to *routinely* open the original source? If there’s a particular reason, there may be a workaround

1. In my mixed swift/objc projects, I can't edit the header (modify interfaces or add comments)
2. For some files Xcode hangs indefinitely at "generating interface" for me. From a swift file, try cmd+shift+o and enter dns_sd.h  (Xcode 8.1)
3. I (mostly) understand the rules of how objc to swift naming works, and would rather just get the header immediately than the marginal convenience of staying in swift-land
4. Of course I can't replicate this now, but sometimes I tap cmd tap through a symbol, and instead of going to where that symbol is defined I'm taken to the top of the generated interface file.  Then I do a cmd+f search for the symbol name again once in the interface.

The keyboard shortcut is a good idea! If there's no default to tweak I'll attach a shortcut to that menu item. Something tells me I shouldn't hold out for a defaults hack :)

Likely not, in any direct kind of way. Why do you want to *routinely* open the original source? If there’s a particular reason, there may be a workaround.

For example, if you can afford to split the window, you can set the assistant editor manually to “Original Source”. Then you’ll get the original source whenever you Command-click in the main editor.

Or, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the Jump to Original Source function, via preferences. If you can do it by the keyboard, you might not mind that it’s a two-step process.
