I'm somewhat new to XCode and am very accustomed to using Visual Assist with Visual Studio. In XCode, I see the function menu above the text editor but can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut to pop it down. It seems to require a mouse click. It would be nice to have as this is yet another tool for better code navigation and is easily accomplished with Visual Assist using Alt-m.

Anyone know the magic incantation for XCode?

Control 2

should do the trick

Ctrl + 6 opens the function menu for me.
Take a look under View > Editor for some related shortcuts. (See note below)

Unsurprisingly, you can start typing the name of the function to select it, instead of using the arrow keys.

I'm using Xcode 4, by the way.

NOTE: The program CheatSheet (available for free from App Store) lets you see a list of all keyboard shortcuts in the current program by holding down the command key (⌘) for 2 seconds.

Too bad that app is not available anymore, or not in my country maybe? –  Rafa-Nadal Jul 17 '13 at 21:48
