This is a plugin that makes it easier to run Xcode without the main toolbar. It adds keyboard shortcuts for selecting the active scheme and device (Ctrl+7 / Ctrl + 8), and a compact popup menu in the window title bar that shows the currently selected run configuration.
You can disable the popup from the View menu if you find it distracting, the keyboard shortcuts will also work without it. The popup is automatically hidden when the main toolbar is visible.
You can now change the editor mode in Xcode via the small segmented control towards the right of the title bar. It is designed to mimic the standard editor mode switcher arrangement - standard editor, assistant editor, versions editor.
Simply build the Xcode project and restart Xcode. The plugin will automatically be installed in ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins. To uninstall, just remove the plugin from there (and restart Xcode).
This is tested on OS X 10.8 with Xcode 4.4.1.
