In my main squeeze visual studio for several years ???? I can press Ctrl + F to search immediately for identifier or string which is touching my text carats, or if I have a selection, then currently selected text I can use the entire project, solution, or other file sets Press Ctrl + Shift + F to search. I like this.
In Xcode 3. My main squeeze in recent years. I can press CMD + Opt + F to select the currently selected text and CMD + opt + Shift + F (a bit of handful, but practical) to search across the project. I liked this little bit from the VS approach because I had to select some text first, instead of choosing the present identifier for myself rather than the IDE, if I did not choose anything, then search for it.

But this is a bad waste ... well it does all - apparently - copying the current selection and pasting it into the search box. This does not show the search box, so if the search box is not shown currently, then CMD + E has no visual effect. CMD-e does not actually invoke the search - it copies only copies, then now it is a three-stage process to search for an identifier. Select the identifier, press Cmd + E, press Cmd + F (or Cmd + Shift + F looking for project-wide) The two-step process of IMO, Xcode 4 three-stage process Xcode 3 Worse is also, which is worse than the visual studio's one-step process. My question: the recent international events in light of the falling UI functionality is being in the world just downhill and soon all be over in a fire Revelation, in which the few remaining humans of an identifier Want to search for, when they will be forced to type war and peace again? Ughavagfah offered the correct answer (above). To start searching with that text, use It is quite fast, consistent and sensible. It is not immediately as a single stroke of Visual Studio / Find Find-in-Files. Xcode requires two strokes instead of one stroke, but extra steps individually do not bother me. cmd + e on the
