Xcode is big. Apple’s Xcode Workspace Guide, a terse inventory of its features, is 116 pages. Xcode’s preference window has 13 sections, each with a dozen or more items. There are at least 206 keyboard shortcuts. I started counting menu items but gave up the ghost when I’d topped 300 items before finishing the third section.

Cutting Through The Clutter

We’ve collected a set of tips, resources, how-tos, tutorials and links ranging from newbie-to-expert to help you wring the maximum amount of productivity out of Xcode:

[Note: Apple changed their link-structure, so all of the links to Apple's documentation are now broken. Anyone know of a "permalink" like approach to pointing to Apple documentation so I can fix this once and not have to redo again and again? Email dan@mobileorchard.com ]

Workspace Tweaks

Xcode’s All-in-one layout , accessible under Preferences… > General , “provides a single project window in which you can perform all the tasks necessary for software development.” A Condensed layout style is also available.

Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts

The Xcode Tips & Tricks thread on Stack Overflow features, among other things, these Essential Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts :

  1. Option-Command-Up: toggle betweeen .m and .h files
  2. Code completion: press tab to accept the current suggestion
  3. Command-double-click: jump to the .h definition of the symbol under the mouse
  4. Option-double-click: open the documentation for the symbol under the mouse
  5. Command-shift-D: open file quickly (similar to Command-t in TextMate)

Jeff Nouwen (Profile ) reported , “After discovering ⌘⇧E [which hides the details panel above the editor panel] and remembering ^1 [which brings up a quick jump to recent files], the All-In-One layout in Xcode is starting to really grow on me. Viva keyboard shortcuts!”
