2. In the Xcode menu bar, Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Behaviors.
3. Add a Custom behavior
4. Name it "Open Terminal", or whatever.
5. (Optional) Configure a hotkey for the behavior by tapping on the ⌘
6. (Optional) Input hotkey combination

Unfortunately there is no such a thing in Xcode. We have to fall back to external Terminal window.

If you really want to do it, you can add a build phase and run script that opens the Terminal - but that might not be what you are looking for.

Relatedly, now in Xcode 8, you can have your program run automatically in Terminal rather than using the Xcode Console. Just go to Edit Scheme > Run > Options and set Console at the bottom to Terminal.
