I've been using TextMate and SublimeText for 5+ years. I recently learned iOS development and had to use Xcode on a daily basis. Here's everything I hate about using it purely as a text editor (since LLVM itself is pretty amazing).

Things I hate about Xcode as a text editor.

  • No line delete
  • cmd+left goes to the beginning of the line, not beginning of the text
  • cmd + shift + left highlights line + indentation
  • pasting a line w/ indentation pastes indentation
  • Option-right from the beginning of the line jumps to the end of the first token, not the beginning
  • Cmd + / doesn't reliably uncomment commented lines
  • No multiple carets
  • No multi-line typing, only deleting
  • No shortcut for multiline comment (/*)
  • Can't highlight text and auto-surround with "", (), {}, etc.
  • Questionable square-bracket matching
  • No cmd+enter to start a new line
  • Can't duplicate a line
