Overview

To setup some key bindings in Xcode with the same like VSCode

Add duplicate lines

Add this to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/IDETextKeyBindingSet.plist Thanks to: https://gist.github.com/emotality/b1bcb2bb8a07921f9c8cad1c969daedf

<key>Duplication</key>
<dict>
    <key>Duplicate Current Line</key>
    <string>moveToBeginningOfLine:, deleteToEndOfLine:, yank:, insertNewline:, moveToBeginningOfLine:, yank:</string>
    <key>Duplicate Lines</key>
    <string>selectLine:, copy:, moveToEndOfLine:, insertNewline:, paste:, deleteBackward:</string>
    <key>Delete Line</key>
    <string>selectLine:, deleteBackward:</string>
</dict>

Add VSCode keybindings

  • Cmd+P: quick open file
  • Cmd+Opt+O: jump between functions (which is Show Document Items in Xcode)
  • Opt+down/up: move lines
  • Shift+Opt+down: duplicate lines
  • Ctr+X: delete lines
  • Refactor rename: F2

Add this to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/KeyBindings/VSCode.idekeybindings Then, select VSCode in Xcode/Preferences/KeyBindings
