I've been wondering the same.  I believe the old keyboard shortcut was ⌘0, 
which is now the toggle for showing/hiding the Navigator pane.

I went to Preferences > Key Bindings and entered "project" in the search field. 
 Didn't see anything promising, though of course I could have missed something. 
Maybe there's some way to do it with AppleScript.

I did manage to cobble together a Keyboard Maestro macro that seems to work:

1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit the Home key
3. Pause for 1 second
4. Click the window at (25,100)

Step 1: Put keyboard focus on the Project Navigator.
Step 2: Scroll to the top of the file list.
Step 3: Insert a pause, because otherwise the mouse click in step 4 comes 
prematurely.
Step 4: Click on the top item in the file list.

If this seems like a crazy long way to get the desired result, I agree!  You'd 
*think* this would work:

1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit Option-UpArrow

Option-UpArrow is the standard Mac shortcut for selecting the top item in a 
list.  But in the Project Navigator, it also has the effect of opening the 
Assistant Editor, with the project settings pane on the *right* side (the 
assistant pane).  I suspect this is because of the logic that Xcode uses when 
you Option-click a file, which puts that file in the assistant pane.

I wouldn't mind working around this with one more keystroke -- a Command-Return 
to return to the Standard Editor -- but this focuses on the file that was in 
the *left* pane, not the project settings pane.

For a moment I thought this worked:

1. Hit Command-1
2. Hit COMMAND-Option-UpArrow

Command-Option-UpArrow selects the top item in the Project Navigator *without* 
opening the Assistant Editor.  But it doesn't change the contents of the editor 
pane, so it doesn't help.

I'd be curious to know if there's a sensible way that works.
