Xcode normally picks the main editor pane, which can be annoying. Often, I&rsquo;m looking at a source file and want to open its unit test file next to it. When I choose &ldquo;Open Quickly&rdquo; from the File menu, Xcode opens the test file on top of the source file. I expected that holding down the Option key would change the menu item to something like &ldquo;Open Quickly in Assistant Editor,&rdquo; but it doesn&rsquo;t. However, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/eridius\/status\/58263095042248706\">Kevin Ballard<\/a> has a great tip: when you&rsquo;re in the &ldquo;Open Quickly&rdquo; window, you can hold down the Option key when clicking the Open button to open the file in the assistant editor. You can also hold down Option-Shift to choose which editor, tab, or window to open it in.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A consequence of Xcode 4&rsquo;s single-window interface is that opening a file shows it in an existing pane rather than in a new window.
