How to switch between output window and code editor in Xcode I tried google'ing around and I could not find the shortcut that can send me to the "output window(if that's what it's called)" after telling my program to compile and run. Also, how would I switch back to my code editor from that output window?

I've done it before, but I forgot it. 

Thank you
It is a little unclear what you really mean:

The Output pane is called the Console. It is displayed in the Debug area.

There are a few ways to get to it.

In the Toolbar Menu:

Use the Debug area toggle button. 



From the Menu Bar : View Menu :-> Debug area :-> Show the Debug area menu
to open the Debug area set as it was last displayed







Note the shortcut for this:  cmd +  shift +   Y

Use View Menu :-> Debug area :-> Activate Console area to Show the Debug area with the Console showing.









Note the shortcut for this:  cmd +  shift +   C

Or just show the Console area if the debug area is already showing.

You can also use the Debug area show hide toggle to show/hide either the Variable View or the  Console area  view
