title: How to connect an IBOutlet and IBAction to a View Controller without using the Assistant editor
body: <p>I know the second button here shows the Assistant editor:</p>

  <p>And I know how to make an Outlet and Action by Control dragging from an object in the Interface Builder to the View Controller code. Ideally it should be as easy as the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-IB_connections/chapters/CreatingOutlet.html" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> makes it look:</p>

  <p>But this is usually what Xcode actually looks like for me when I press the &quot;Assistant&quot; editor:</p>

  <p>A <em><strong>mess</strong></em>. I have to minimize lots of things, try to get the storyboard object in view, and then go find the right View Controller. All this before I can do the Control-drag.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to make the connection without using the Assistant editor? (And preferably without having to type a lot of code in myself.)</p>
