Xcode Shortcuts Feb 20, 2021 · 2 min read
You can find a lot of cheatsheets about shortcuts on Xcode out there on the Internet and you can ask "Why do I ever need another one?". I think the problem with most of them is that they include a lot more shortcuts than you ever need while you develop apps on Xcode. For me, it was always difficult to memorize them because I did it in the wrong way. The rule of thumb is to memorize only the frequently used ones that are hidden and hard or time-consuming to find on Xcode because they require several steps to be made. Use Help
on Xcode to find and use other less frequently used commands. Here is the list of all shortcuts I use on a daily basis that I really recommend memorizing to boost your productivity at work. I think and believe that most of them overlap with your favorite shortcuts.
