Xcode code sense thinks Objective-C file is regular plain-text file

I posted about my question before in a different forum, but it bears repeating here. Xcode's code sense will sometimes not list what I want to type in. I think when it does, it's because such wording is already written in the file. I saw this behavior before while editing a different plaintext file, so I think Xcode is treating my Objective-C file as just another plaintext file.

I'll link to a screenshot later, but it's in the Apple Support Communities (look for a question with the same title as this thread's title.)

It could be that you've unintentionally instructed Xcode to treat your file as plaintext. Open your file in the main editor and open the File Inspector. Right below the file name is a pop-up button labeled "Type." Make sure that's set to "Objective-C Source." If that doesn't work, try quitting and relaunching Xcode. That will reset the indexing and code completion subsystems.
