Small extension for Xcode editor
I love small inconspicuous tools that always are at my hands. So this project is a set of such tools that make my code editing a bit faster and comfort. I recommend to specify a hot key for most of these gears and try to use them in your daily practice.
Clone the project, open it in Xcode and set your dev team for DevHelper and DevHelperContainer targets, then Product -> Archive. Then, in Organizer, choose "Export..." and "Export as macOS-application". As soon as app is run it install the extension. The extension may have to be enabled from your system preferences, in the Extensions-pane. The extension will be activated after Xcode restart.
If you do not like this method or if you want to help the project, it is available in the App Store.
DevHelper is a native Xcode editor extension. You can find it in the bottom of Editor menu in code editing mode. Also you can set hot keys for the items you plan to use often. Open Xcode preferences, navigate to Key Bindings pane and type devhelper in search. Then double click on the right side of the window in front of the item you want to bind to keyboard and just press a key combination. Done!
The full analogue of sort|uniq command of *nix console. Sorts selected lines and removes duplicates. Very useful to cleanup imports in Obj-C code. Select your import list and choose Editor -> DevHelper -> Sort and Uniq. Before:
#import "EventsBatch.h"
#import "PortalManager.h"
#import "AnalyticEventsManager.h"
#import "HTTPClient.h"
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "PortalManager.h"
#import "EventsBatch.h"After
#import "AnalyticEventsManager.h"
#import "EventsBatch.h"
#import "HTTPClient.h"
#import "PortalManager.h"
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>Copies a previous line to current cursor position. Coping is started from the column where cursor is placed. Useful for number of similar lines of code. Good example - parsing of JSON or NSCoding protocol implementing
Adds /* before and */ after selected text. Selection is extended by inserted symbols. If selection is empty, just adds symbols at cursor position and move the cursor between.
Reverse operation. Removes /* */ comment markers around commented code. Just put cursor in commented block and press Editor -> DevHelper -> Uncomment (or corresponding hot key). Supports multiline- and nested comments.
Generates extension for the class you are editing. The extension will be placed right after the class and selection will be moved to it.
Removes spaces at the end of every line in current file
