To create a macro in Xcode, you can utilize the multi-cursor editing feature, which is particularly useful for creating repetitive code structures like switch statements or initializers. Here's a brief guide on how to do it:
-
Multi-Cursor Editing: Hold
Control+Shift, then click where you'd like to insert multiple cursors. This allows you to create multiple statements at once. -
Creating Templates: If you need to insert similar code in several places, you can create a template with placeholders. This is similar to the placeholders you see in code completion. Surround the text with specific characters to define these placeholders.
-
Code Completion: Xcode's code completion can assist you in completing your code snippets efficiently.
