I'd like to map a key to move the cursor in the XCode up by ten lines. Of course, I want another one to move down too. The key mapping would ideally be something like 'Control-Alt-P'.
Is there a way to achieve this in XCode without resorting to Automator?
Ashley has the answer below, the formatting was a little different as the property list is in XML format.
In summary, added an entry in the following format to the 'text' section of *.pbxkeys in ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/Key Bindings/:
<key>^~p</key>
<array>
<string>moveUp:</string>
<string>moveUp:</string>
</array>
You can use the example given here and use a DefaultKeyBinding.dict
file, except use moveUp:
and moveDown:
as your selectors.
Your particular dictionary entry would look something like this:
{
"^~P" = (
"moveUp:",
"moveUp:",
"moveUp:",
... however many times ...
"moveUp:",
);
}
I have since learned that if you have customized your keybindings through Xcode already you should instead add the same dictionary entry to your .pbxkeys
file under the text
dictionary section.
