I want to be able to open any file in the assistant editor. Right now it is forcing me to open "counterparts", "test classes" and other stuff that i dont need. I need two different classes to look at.

In previous xcodes it was possible Where is this option in Xcode 11?

Don't use the assitant editor, simply click on the "+" icon in the top right

enter image description here

"Add editor on right"

You can either alt + click in the file navigator to open in a new editor, or click this icon:

enter image description here

(pro tip: hold alt to toggle new editor position [on right | below])

Also, alt + click on a file while more than one editors are open will open the file in the non focused one.

Finally, ctrl + alt + cmd + click on a symbol will open that symbol in a new editor (or to the secondary if you got more than one).

Bonus: alt + enter on a quick open result (cmd + shift + O) will save you the trip to the file navigator.
