I've got several Xcode iOS projects and in the Editor menu section there are dozen's of options, as in the diagram. However if I create a new iOX Project (with Xcode 16.2) look at how sparse the Editor menu is. Why is that, why do they appear for other projects but not for a new one and why are the contents different? Screenshot 2025-05-04 at 11.14.52 AM.png

In your first screenshot you're in a text editor view, so there are options for things like "Wrap Lines".

In your second screenshot you're in the project view (you can see the "PROJECT" and "TARGETS" text), so the options in the menu cater for that view.
