The Xcode Editor

Xcode contains a full-featured editor for editing your project files. You have many options for using this editor to view and modify the files in your project; you can edit files in a dedicated editor window or use the editor attached to most Xcode windows. You can also choose whether to have multiple editor windows open at once, or use a single editor window for all files that you open.

This chapter describes Xcode’s editor, shows how to open files in a standalone editor window or in an attached editor, and how to control the appearance of Xcode’s editor.
