Apologies to everyone who already knew this…
I just discovered something very cool. As an only occasional coder (Python, mostly, when I get the chance to write code), I don’t have a very good grasp of where all the header files for Mac OS X frameworks live.
Let’s say that you want to know where CGEventSourceSecondsSinceLastEventType is defined. Just hunt for it in Spotlight and it will turn up all the places it shows up in header files.
E.g.
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs /iPhoneSimulator3.2.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework /Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Headers
Or
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks /IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers/hidsystem
Clicking on the Spotlight results opens the file in Xcode.
Who knew?

Haha, I just realized that I’ve written a ton of code lately, but it’s all WordPress PHP code to build themes. For some reason that doesn’t feel like coding, I guess.
