    <p>In Visual Studio—my main squeeze for many years—I can press Ctrl+F to immediately search for the identifier or string that my text caret is touching, or else the currently selected text if I have a selection. I can press Ctrl+Shift+F to search the whole project, solution, or other file sets. I like this.</p> <p>In Xcode 3.*—my main squeeze in recent years—I could press Cmd+Opt+F to immediately search for the currently selected text and Cmd+Opt+Shift+F (a bit of a handful, but workable), to search throughout the project. I liked this a bit less than the VS approach because I first had to select some text, then search for it, rather than the IDE automatically picking up the current identifier for me if I hadn't selected anything. But it was fine.</p> <p>Now in Xcode 4 I notice that there is a Cmd+E shortcut that makes Xcode "Use Selection for Find." But it... well it sucks bad. All it does--apparently--is to copy the current selection and paste it into the find box. It doesn't show the find box, so if the find box isn't currently shown then Cmd+E has no visible effect. Cmd-E does not actually invoke the search--it <em>only</em> copies the text. So now searching for an identifier becomes a three step process: select the identifier, press Cmd+E, press Cmd+F (or Cmd+Shift+F for project-wide search).</p> <p>IMO, Xcode 4's three-step process is worse than Xcode 3's two-step process, which is worse than Visual Studio's one-step process.</p> <p>My question: In light of this falling UI efficiency along with recent international events, is the world just going downhill and soon all will end in a fiery apocalypse in which the few remaining humans will be forced to retype <em>War and Peace</em> each time they want to search for an identifier?</p>

    1. COXcode 4's process is the normal mac process. You can find the next match without showing the find box using cmd+g (shift to go backwards)

    2. COThat helps. I've used Macs for about 3 years and hadn't noticed that that interface is in TextEdit, Pages, and who knows what else. Two key commands is definitely better than three. Maybe the world isn't ending after all.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
