Motivation

I feel like I’m repeating myself since Part 1 and 2. The goal is to increase productivity and spend time creating rather than doing menial tasks.

1. Center the Current Line

Common Usage: You don’t have to use the mouse or trackpad to adjust the screen position. Simply go to the line and press,

Control L

2. Show AutoCompletion

Common Usage: There are times when you accidentally press ESC to get rid of autocompletion. But when you try to have it again, you delete a couple of letters and write again just to get that white box filled with methods. No more of that. Press,

ESC

3. Move Line Up/Down

Common Usage: It’s a dope feature when you try to beautify and make it readable by giving plenty of space without clicking the mouse.

Command Option [ ]

4. Delete Line Below

Common Usage: I use this feature often when it comes to deleting attributes of UI objects. It’s usually for pretty much deleting anything. 👍

Control K

5. Hide Code and Delete

Common Usage: I use this feature to delete functions and possibly to clean up entire code and write from scratch in seconds.

Option Command Left/Right(Hide/Show)

Command Delete(Delete all)

Option Delete(Delete Word)

6. Open Documentation

Common Usage: It’s just a must. No need to move your mouse to click help and documentation.

Command Shift 0(Number)

Last Remarks

You’ve come along way. I hope now you can implement these shortcuts throughout to save time and increase productivity. If you found this Xcode shortcut series useful, please do me a favor by sharing it with your friends and community! ✌️
