The Inspector Pane

The Inspector pane is the column at the right of the project window. It contains inspectors that provide information about the current selection or its settings; if those settings can be changed, this is where you change them. The Inspector pane’s importance emerges mostly when you’re editing a .storyboard or .xib file (Chapter 8). But it can be useful also while editing code, mostly because Quick Help, a form of documentation (Chapter 9), is displayed here as well.

To toggle the visibility of the Inspector pane, choose View → Inspectors → Hide/Show Inspectors (Command-Option-0). You can change the Inspector pane’s width by dragging the vertical line at its left edge. If the project window is being displayed fullscreen with the Inspector pane hidden, you can display the Inspector pane temporarily by hovering the mouse at the right side of the screen.

What appears in the Inspector pane depends on what’s selected in the current editor:

A code file is being edited

The Inspector pane shows the File inspector, the History inspector, or the Quick Help inspector. Toggle between them with the icons at the top of the Inspector pane, or with their keyboard shortcuts (Command-Option-1, Command-Option-2, Command-Option-3). The File inspector consists of multiple sections, each of which can be expanded or collapsed by clicking its header; I’ll give an example of using it in Chapter 10 when I talk about localization. History is about version control (Chapter 10 as well). Quick Help can be useful because it displays documentation (Chapter 9).
