Shortcut for “Go to Counterpart”
By deans ~ April 10th, 2009. Filed under: Resources.
It’s crunch time for getting the first BluMtnWerx apps ready for release, so I’ve been neglecting my writing responsibilities. This will be a short one, as I’ve got lots of code to write (OK, debug) before I sleep. Anyway, when I’m in the “code ’til I drop” mode, I find myself using Xcode’s “Go to Couterpart” quite a bit. This is, at least partly, because I get too tired to actually remember what’s in the header file. Anyway, I finally got fed up with moving the cursor up to the icon every time I wanted to toggle between header and source files, so I went looking for a shortcut. What did we do before Google? When I first started using Xcode, I tried to find an answer in the program’s documentation, but I got frustrated and gave up. Of course, a fraction of a second with Google gave me the answer:
<Command>+<Option>+↑ (that’s <UpArrow>)
…toggles between header and source. As the result is a toggle, a similarly modified ↓ isn’t required to invert the operation. If I’d looked through Xcode’s menus, I could also have dug it up – it’s under the View menu – but I’m not a menu guy, I’d never even looked at the View menu until I started this post.
That’s it for today’s tip, enjoy…
Postscript: I tried to use angle brackets: 〈 and 〉 in this post. Every browser that I checked, except IE, handled them just fine. Sigh…
