    XCode Duplicate Line Shortcuts

Key Bindings to duplicate lines in Xcode similar to VSCode

HINT: these don't mess with the clipboard or the undo history


Copy the following snippet into
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/IDETextKeyBindingSet.plist

<key>Custom</key>
<dict>
    <key>Duplicate Current Line Down</key>
    <string>selectParagraph:, delete:, undo:, moveRight:, yank:, moveLeft:</string>
    <key>Duplicate Current Line Up</key>
    <string>selectParagraph:, delete:, undo:, moveLeft:, yank:, moveLeft:</string>
</dict>


Assign shortcuts in Xcode -> Preferences -> Key Bindings
Duplicate Current Line Down –> shift + alt + ↓
Duplicate Current Line Up –> shift + alt + ↑
