I'm a beginner of Cocoa developing, and just started using Xcode recently. In my immature opinion, Xcode is lack of navigating skills. This plug-in lets you jump between methods, or other items in the source editor.
A simple illumination:
I did some research about DVTKit and related sources, and found some ways to get the range of the methods and other items in the current source file. Then I just wrote some code that check the current location and find where to go next.
When you press the key combination specified by yourself, you can move around the source code more easier and faster.
Default Key Combination:
CTRL+[: jump upCTRL+]: jump down
You can change the key combination by selecting:
Editor -> Change BlockJump Shortcut
The targets where the caret could jump to are the same as items displayed in
Menu -> View -> Standard Editor -> Show Document Items
For now, I couldn't do more beyond that.
This plug-in is built under OS X 10.9.2 & Xcode 5.1 and should work on the later version.
You can either
- Use Alcatraz
- Download(Clone) the source and build it(
cmd+B) in Xcode.
Then restart Xcode and it should work.
Just delete the bundle with the name of BlockJump.xcplugin in
~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins
You may also want to remove two keys called: (Remaining is OK, they won't harm anything.)
- com.tyeen.xcplugin.blockjump.jumppreviousblockkey
- com.tyeen.xcplugin.blockjump.jumpnextblockkey
in the file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
