XCode: Quick open property list file e.g. info.plist as source code?


In Xcode you can "quick open" files by selecting File/Open Quickly. When I enter the file name of a plist file, then this file is opened as "Property List". But often I want to open the file as "Source Code". How can I quick open property list files as source code?


Solution

  • The fastest method to open property lists in Xcode as source code is the following:

    • Press ⌘+⇧+o to get the Quick Open Dialog
    • Enter name of property list file e.g. "info.plist" and press "Enter"
    • Open "Version Editor" -> Property List File is shown as source code Opening Version Editor
