You know in Xcode, you can press option - command - left/right arrows to switch between multiple files. But what are these files?

They seem to be the ones that have been opened. But is there any way to check what they are? And close some unwanted ones.

Or, any other way you know to switch between files??

Your guess about

They seem to be the ones that have been opened

is correct.

Here is some ways you can use to switch between files.

^1 popups loaded files

Command + Option + Up to switch between declaration and implementation files.
Command + Shift + D to quick open project related file.
Command + Option + Shift + T to reveal your file in the group list. And then select related one.

"Popup of include files" is also good one to browse files related to the current one.

"View -> Smart Groups -> All Files | Symbols | etc " and then Tab and type first letters. Tab. And choose one you want. Bind some keys for that.

I dearly miss ctrl+tab for recent document list like in Visual Studio, Eclipse and others. They do it with the application switcher so why not in their editors ? And whats up with "Command + Option + Shift + T" shortcuts ? One thing I have noticed after switching to Mac is the use of lame shortcuts like that, "press cmd+ctrl+option+]+k to open bla bla". Have Apple developers 4 hands or something ? If I want to indent multiple lines it should have been just tab. Apple and 3rd party developers doesn't seem to follow a standard like they do in the windows world, every app has its own way of doing things.
