When coding in Xcode, I double-click a file in the "Groups and files" list, and it opens a new editor window. I have several of these open at once.
Until today.
Today, when I double-click a file in the list, it opens the file in the last editor window I was using, meaning I can only have one editor window up at any one time.
I guess I've switched some option somewhere by mistake. How do I get it back to the way I like it?
I'm using Xcode 3.2.5
In the top right of the editing window is an icon that says "grouped", perhaps you clicked on it by accident.
Click on it so it says "ungrouped", and you'll be back to opening multiple windows.
perhaps preferences>General>Open Counterpart in same Editor

I have the plugin Sublimerge installed in Sublime Text 3. In order to compare two files Sublimerge opens a new window (but without any menu). That is fine since the original Sublime window is still there.
Unfortunately the diff-window was the last one I closed and when I restart Sublime it opens the diff-view without menu.
Question is: How can I restore the default Sublime view?
To make my problem visible, this is what it looks like now:
Edit: Sublime is running on Linux Mint and is set to a German keyboard.
I had the same issue and in my case pressing ctrl+alt+p and selecting last project solved it.
If you are referring to the sidebar, you press super+k,super+b to toggle it on/off.
To close the sublimerge diff window, just press super+w.
edit after reading your comment/image:
To go back to a single pane view, press super+ctrl+1.
Ultimately, you can access the FileDiffs menu via the command palette (ctrl+shift+p) and type in menu.
One feature I found missing in earlier versions of Xcode 4 was opening an editor as a separate window. Has this feature been put back?
I don't want to go back to MDI hell.
In the Xcode preferences window, under general, there is "Double click navigation." You can set that to use a separate window or a separate tab.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and when I do a "Find in Files" the results are returned to the "Find Results 1" window which is docked below my code editor window.
Before, I would double click on one of the results in the Find Results window and the file I clicked on would open in the code editor panel.
The problem is now when I click on one of the results, it opens in the same panel as the Find Results window which happens to be much smaller than the code editor window which is annoying.
Does anyone know how to make it so that when I double click on the search results they open up in the code editor window again?
Thanks!
Click Window → Reset Window Layout
Works for VS2013 Update 4 and all newer versions, including VS2019.
I thought I had this problem but it was easily fixed by docking the Find Results window using the very bottom of the window position selectors.
The files open in the same position as the Find Results when the window is docked in the positions immediately next to the centre position.
This is also being discussed here:
VS2010 docks code windows in the wrong place
Go the same... irritating... I realized that this unwanted behavior happened only while the app was running in debug. After I stopped debugging, a new panel was created with this file open in it. If I opened new files, they would open in this new panel. If I close all files in this new panel, opening new files from the "Find In Files" open in the standard code editor window (as long as the app is not running).
I had this problem also. I experienced the problem in VS2013. I did not want to do "Window -> Reset Window Layout" because it seemed like that was going to do other stuff that I did not want it to do.
Here was my solution:
I noticed the problem in VS2013 in which I had project "A" open.
I opened another copy of VS2013 and opened project "B".
I closed the copy of VS2013 that was exhibiting the annoying behavior: project A.
I closed the copy of VS2013 that had project B open.
This saved the settings from the "good" copy.
Opened project A in VS2013 and all was well.
Obviously, the caveat is that this requires you notice the problem before you close VS2013. But if you do notice it in time, this is a pretty easy solution.
For those who do not want to dock their "Find Results", "Error List", "Output",... windows to the right, and for those the above answer which is Window->Reset Window Layout doesn't work: may be you are trying to dock wrong place! You should dock these windows to very bottom. Refer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2735726/6176317
For me, this was happening with a Visual Studio window containing an SQL file with the Window Split option active. If the cursor was in the top pane of the window, both Ctrl + F (Find) and Ctrl + H (Find & Replace) would cause the find control to appear in the other (main) Visual Studio window. Moving the SQL window into the main window just caused Find and Find & Replace to display the "Find in Files" dialog instead until another tab was selected.
The workaround was to place the cursor in the bottom pane which caused both Find and Find & Replace to work correctly in that pane of that window. Unfortunately as long as the Window Split is there, the bug is still there in the top pane.
When i highlight a file and choose Edit->delete nothing happens.
What is going on. This is in the XCode IDE for Max OS
Try right clicking (two fingers, or cmd click) the file and selecting delete. It may be that edit>delete only works for code editing.
i have a weird problem with Xcode. Here's a screenshot:
When i usually clicked on the file in the left column it'd open in source code editor on the right. Now it doesn't happen. Does anyone know how to get it back the way it was before? it drives me crazy
greetings

What happens if you click on the Project, test, at the top, and then click in the columns on the right. Will it open the file in the editor?
Quit Xcode and relaunch it.
I see this is a little old now, but I had the same problem. The thing that I had to do was to open the "interface builder" program, wich is the editor for the file, then find and open the .xib file from that program. Next time I tried open it with Xcode it worked.
Drag a source file from the Groups and Files pane (usually on the left) over into the pane that says "No Editor". No need to reset the defaults.
