Getting Started
Working with multiple windows
Not every developer is enthusiastic about single-window development. Fortunately, you can
open multiple windows into a single project and select a different collection of editors and fea-
tures in each window. A key goal is flexibility; you can arrange your workspace how you want it,
with the features you want to see. As shown in Figure 1.5, you can still create a separate floating
window to edit a single file by double-clicking the file.

In Xcode 4, you can still float individual files from a project in separate windows. But there are
usually more efficient ways to work.
Selecting and navigating files
Xcode 3 included a pair of file and symbol navigation menus above the main editing pane.
Xcode 4 extends this idea and displays a hierarchical navigation bar that generates a menu tree
from your project files, listing the files and symbols. As shown in Figure 1.6, you can select any
file almost instantly.
