To create a macro in Xcode, you can use the multi-cursor editing feature and templates. Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Multi-Cursor Editing: This feature allows you to insert multiple cursors to create repetitive statements or initializers. You can hold Control + Shift, then click where you'd like to insert multiple cursors to create multiple statements at once. This is useful for creating repetitive code structures.

  2. Creating Templates: If you need to put similar code into several places, you can create a template with placeholders. Surround the text with specific characters to create these placeholders. This can be particularly useful for repetitive code patterns.

  3. Using Code Completion: Xcode's code completion can help you complete your templates and repetitive code structures efficiently.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Xcode essentials which covers these features in depth.
