OK, I think I get it now.
• Open a .m source file
• Click on Show the Assistant Editor
- Shows the corresponding .h.
• Command-click on a symbol in the .h (for example NSObject to show it’s
interface)
• Click on Show the Standard Editor to dismiss the Assistant editor.
• Select a totally different .m file from the file tree.
• Click on Show the Assistant Editor
- Shows NSObject.h
Leaving the Assistant editor open, If I don’t navigate away from the
corresponding file, I can click on any file in the file tree and it will always
show the correct corresponding file. It looks like if I ever navigate away from
the corresponding file in the Assistant editor, I can never see the
corresponding file for any other file automatically, unless I click on the X
button to dismiss Assistant editor. So clicking X does something different than
Show Standard Editor which is a little confusing.
As a suggestion, it would be really nice to have a button/preference that is
‘Show corresponding file always’ rather than sometimes. I’m only interested in
seeing the related files rather than keeping a history of previously browsed
files.
Sorry for going on about this one feature, but it’s something I use on a daily
basis and I’m always amazed how hard it is to do.
