Xcode / iPhone Development 6 Months - Annoyance

I have been programming iPhone for 6 months and came from a PC / Java / Eclipse background and am still a little annoyed with Xcode / iPhone programming. I wonder if there are any shortcuts.

  • Is there a way to prevent multiple windows from appearing in Xcode? a) When you click "Errors / Warnings" in the lower right corner of the "Status bar" line, errors are displayed in a separate window. Any way to show them in the main editor? b) In any case, for the debugger to appear in the main editor. I have a big screen iMac and it's still devious hell on a Mac. When you come from Alt-Tab, Mac is a nightmare.

2) Anyway, to get the toolbar item in the main editor, do the following: a) Open console (I know CMD-thingy-R) b) Open breakpoints (you need to open Debugger first, then breakpoints) I know that there are shortcuts, but I only have hands free on the trackball, so all the keys on the right side of the keyboard are too far away.

I know you can add Finder toolbar scripts (just wondering, extend Xcode anyway). Are there utilities for extending Xcode? Scripts / Automator / Any services I can configure to help. Can you automate Xcode as much as you can with Windows / ActiveX / VBA

3) Limit search using double click CMD +. If I double click on a variable to find its definition using double CMD +, it displays every occurrence of all variables with that name. (annoying him, you call all maps mapView) Anyway, so that it constrains the current class, or at least the order, so that the current class comes first.

4) The search does not appear to be reversed if the result is higher than the cursor position I am in the class and I press CMD + F to search. The Search window will appear. I enter some text. It says I have x matches, but only the back arrow is to highlight in Find But when I hit <it doesn't do anything. I need to scroll up and search again. If the text is both forward and backward, then both <> are highlighted and it works. is it a bug or "feature"

Missing Eclipse Features I've been looking at the Script User Menu but wondering how powerful they are? 5) any scripts around to generate source from members like description: @property @synthesize if i add a new member, run Script, generate @@ syntesize property and exit in dealloc 7) any good scripting sites?

  1. SCM I'm having problems with SCM and Folders on HD in the Classes project directory. You get a library for example. JSON. This is usually a folder. You copy it to / Classes for your project. / Classes / JSON I am creating a group for a library in Xcode under the Classes group. JSON Classes I am dragging files from a folder in xcode to a JSON group. Do I add them to SCM and change icons? to A but if I try to commit them, say the / JSON folder is not under the SCM. Can you drag and drop the folder into Xcode so that it AND its files are included in SCM?

  2. In any case, so that Xcode Help doesn't get stuck all the time. All the time I feel myself knocking him out and telling him to get out of the way! :) I don't mind it being open differently once I'm done. Yes I know I can Ctrl-W

Sites: The main site I use to learn Obj-C is: stackoverflow.com Google Code Search - Tons of complete apps here http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/ Apple Developers Forums (in anyway to get the rss feed to these or is it blasphemy :)) Safari - 100 from the IT book, although too many problems to keep up :) any others? Any site that gives simple examples for Obj-C / UIKit The docs just show methods, but actual examples (Google code search helped a lot here)

In Xcode -> Preferences -> General

select "All-in-one" for layout.



I only had one window and found this mode much better than the default.
