title: Xcode - open current file in a NEW window (a real challenge !)
body: <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AkFpc.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>Say you have File.m showing in the blue area above.</p>
  
  <p>I want File.m to open in a <strong>new separate window</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>How to do this??</p>
  
  <p>Note that - of course - <strong>IF</strong> you have the ProjectNavigator showing and <strong>IF</strong> you can see the filename "File.m", then double-click on the filename and it will open in a new window.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is open <strong>ANOTHER</strong> copy of the <strong>"CURRENT"</strong> file (the one <strong>in the primaryEditor</strong>) in a <strong>NEW WINDOW</strong> - without touching the ProjectNavigator.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  Cheers</p>

  <p>if you click on whatever file is in the current primaryEditor, then <strong>shift option apple comma</strong> that will indeed open the following "freaky little-known Xcode popup" ...</p>

  <p>you can then, indeed, choose to open a new window. <strong>(So to be clear, that is exactly what I want to do.)</strong></p>
  
  <p>So, I want to be able to do that in one step.  Cheers!</p>
