Key bindings to duplicate and delete lines in Xcode
<!--
Nowadays Xcode has a "Delete Line" key binding, but it jumps to the beginning of the next line after deletion.
The custom one jumps to the end of the next line.
Custom key bindings have to be added after every Xcode update.
Open the following file with any text editor:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Resources/IDETextKeyBindingSet.plist
…and insert the following:
-->
<key>Custom</key>
<dict>
<key>Custom Delete Line</key>
<string>selectLine:, deleteBackward:, moveToEndOfLine:</string>
<key>Custom Duplicate Line</key>
<string>moveToBeginningOfLine:, deleteToEndOfLine:, yank:, insertNewline:, moveToBeginningOfLine:, yank:</string>
</dict>
<!--
…right before the closing tags:
-->
</dict>
</plist>
