Xcode - open current file in a NEW window (a real challenge !)

Open the file what you want to open in the NEW window.

• Command + Shift + t

Open the file what you want to open in the separated window.

• Command + Option + ,

In XCode's Preferences you can change the following:

And then right-click within the primary editor and click "Open in Separate Window"

Edit: Instead of right clicking in the primary editor you can simply type command+option+, (comma)

I wrote a new automator service that does the following steps in Xcode:

1. Execute the default shortcut for the "Open in..." menu item (Command-O) (if this isn't your current "Open in" shortcut, the workflow will not work. If you still want to test it, just changed your default shortcut :) )
2. Go all the way to the left in the weird "Open in" view
3. hit Enter
4. Current file opened in new window

The only thing you need to do is install the service on osx and map a shortcut to it.

Here a download to the service: https://www.dropbox.com/s/486t2iz17o0l9dh/Open-New-Window.zip

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1.Place Service file in folder ~/Library/Services 2. Open "System preferences" 3. > Keyboard 4. > Tab "ShortCuts" > "Service" > "General" 5. > Set your own shortcut for the service 6. Go to XCode and test the service by using your very own shortcut

Tested on OS X Mavericks, Xcode 5.0.1
