Is there an Xcode keyboard shortcut to jump directly to main editor window?
Cmd+J seems to be the closest, but it displays a UI for selecting which editor to open, or to open a new assistant editor.
There is a command in Xcode > Preferences > Key Bindings that is called Move Focus To Next Editor (Navigate Menu).
With it you jump to the main Editor and if you are in the main Editor you jump to the next editor until you had focus on all editors then you jump back to the main one.
Take a look at the official and this blog about Xcode shortcuts.
Xcode also has a pretty complete "Key Bindings" section in its preferences.
No there is no XCode Keyboard shortcut to jump directly to main editor window. But yes ⌘+J allows you to move to editor window. I am attaching a picture of probably all the shortcuts for XCode 4. I found this on a blog... The picture is quite big so you will have to zoom.

Xcode 12 is annoying me. In the storyboard I want to display the assistant editor below the storyboard but Xcodes sometimes stucks the editor to the right side.
Changing the menu option "Change Editor Orientation" seems to reflect the whole editor position but not the position of the assistant editor itself.
Even the orientation is set to vertical, sometimes the assistant editor goes to the right side, sometimes below.
So as I mentioned above that's what I want, I want to force Xcode to show the assistant always on the bottom side. But it always stucks onn the vertical, right position.
Even if a new editor with horizontal oriantation is opened, the position of the assitant editor won't change.
Also the layout pane is always greyed out and stuck in automatic despite I don't use the focused editor:
You can change its orientation By shortcut key
Press Option Key and hover on the editor icon.
This will give the below output.
Okay, for all desperates Xcode beginners: The Layout Panel becomes active if the assistant editor is opened regardeless the orientation:
Choosing the right or bottom changes the position of the assistant editor immediality.
I'm novice with Xcode. Could you please hint me which Xcode shortcuts to show
documentation of an object;
which methods are available for the object.
Thank you in advance!
If you press Alt and press on an element once the inline documentation will be displayed in a small box. If you press Alt twice, the documentation will be opened in a new window. The screenshot shows the sincle tap:
For other shortcuts you can access and change the xCode shortcuts in Preferences -> Key Bindings
For me the tool you can find on this website is the best for all shortcuts on your mac. After installing, you always can display all shortcuts of a program. You press CMD and you get the shortcuts of the program which is acutaly selected:
I need to frequently hide and unhide navigators and inspectors to make room for Interface Builder and complex storyboards. I learned all show/hide shortcuts in Xcode for panes, but can't find any for showing and hiding Document Outline. Is there a way to achieve this on keyboard?
There is no defined keyboard shortcut to show/hide the document outline. But you can define new shortcuts for these actions.
Just open the preferences (cmd+,) and search for "Document Outline" in the "Key Bindings" page.
Just to demonstrate the other solution how to setup the shortcut in System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
In one of the Xcode updates 6 or 7.
⌘9 is re-allotted for Navigators > Show Reports Navigator
so,
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Show/ Hide Document Outline ⌘9
is invalidated by Xcode automatically.
⇧⌘9 is what I chose. in the Keybindings.
In xcode, after flicking to any of the navigators, say the Project Navigator (⌘ 1), I'd like to flick back to the editor.
Is there a keyboard shortcut which makes the editor have focus?
Yes, try pressing Command+J.
On the above shown asking popup window on Mac, how can I select another button (left button) by using keyboard.
Without clicking mouse button, I want to make left button highlighten.
Is there any shortcuts?
Go to Preferences -> Keyboard. At the bottom, turn on "All controls" under "Full Keyboard Access".
The alternate option will be highlighted with a blue ring. Hitting space will activate this. If there are multiple options, hitting tab will alternate between them.
For English/Mac OSX 10.10:
Go to Keyboard in System Preferences, and then select 'All controls'. Space will select the alternate option if two options. If more than two options then tab will alternate between them.
PS: I would much rather the option of using arrow keys and enter. Interested to know if anyone knows how to hack this?
After reading Tricon's answer, I got the way!!!
Just see the following shortcuts.
Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard & keyboard input (I don't know the correct English menu, I'm using Korean "탭이 초점을 이동하는 방식 변경 (^F7) )
Once you do ^F7 (In case of mac book, Control + fn + F7) on a popup window, you can travel over buttons on any popup windw!!!
Thank you Tricon for giving me clue :)
In Catalina in Keyboard -> Shortcuts press Use keyboard navigation to mve focus between controls. Then you can use Tab to highlight another button and use Space to actually press it.
