Xcode 4 has a Focus code blocks on hover setting in Preferences > Text Editing. enter image description here

When you hover the mouse on a Code folding ribbon, the mentioned setting has the effect shown in image below. enter image description here Also, the effect stays put when you navigate with the keyboard (even when you move focus to Assistant editor, Navigator, Utilities, ... but not to, say, Organizer or Version editor).

How could you add a key binding for this?

Was this added in Xcode 4.6? I could've sworn I already searched with "focus". :) Nevertheless, this is great. Thank you Bryan! – courteous Feb 12 at 17:39
I'm not sure when this was added. This also works on Xcode 4.5.2, which is the oldest version that I have installed for my computers. – Bryan Luby Feb 12 at 17:55
Now I remember: the menu entry was there in Xcode 4 from the get-go, but was oddly disabled. – courteous Feb 13 at 6:40
