Back Arrow Broken In Xcode?

Is there keyboard command to go back/forward one file at a time.

Xcode 3.2 changed the behavior of Cmd-Opt <-- and -->. As noted in another question, they do not operate on a file level like in previous versions of Xcode, but on an "edit point", making it cumbersome to flip through a list of files (the quick way to do it, since Xcode does not support Tabs, as in Eclipse).

Rob Keniger found a partial solution that he noted in another post:

"Hold down the option key while you click the forward/backward arrows ..."

But this requires fiddling with the mouse. Is there any way to do it with the keyboard only?

EDIT: Later versions of Xcode (v7.2+) now have a Navigate menu (and it changes the keyboard shortcuts yet again):

Solution 1:

In XCode 4.4 the following sequence works:

Cmd + Ctrl + ←

and it operates on a file level.

Solution 2:

On Xcode 8 I use 2 fingers left / right

Solution 3:

Beginning in XCode 3.2.3, the following key sequence works:

Cmd + Option + Shift + ←

Without the Shift key, it just goes back to the previous cursor position. Adding Shift jumps to the previous file (next file, in combination with →).
