Swift Keybinding

Hate typing -> ? Try this.

  • Use Terminal to open :
subl /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/IDETextKeyBindingSet.plist
  • Add this to the bottom of the file.
  ...
  <dict>
    <key>Type -></key>
    <string>insertText:, -></string>
  </dict>
  ...
  • Save and reopen Xcode.
  • Go to Xcode > Preferences... > Key Bindings.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the list and add your key binding (I chose ^=)
  • Program more productively.
