Xcode Version Editor - How to navigate through the changes?


In the built-in version editor view of Xcode 4 and 5, when it shows the differences between two revisions, how do you jump from one changes to another?

I'm looking for something like the Cmd+Down/Cmd+Up shortcut keys of Araxis Merge.


Solution

  • If you are already in the Version Editor:

    1. In the center gutter between the left and right sides, click a revision highlight (blue area) to select it
    2. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate through the changes

    If you are NOT already in the Version Editor do this:

    1. Open the file with the changes you want to compare
    2. Select the version editor viewing mode
    3. Click the timeline button to select which revisions of the file you want to compare then click the timeline button again to dismiss the timeline
    4. In the center gutter between the left and right sides, click a revision highlight (blue area) to select it
    5. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate through the changes
