NOTE

Since Xcode 8, all third party plug-ins are prohibited. This plug-in won't work by default on Xcode version higher than 8. There are some ways to workaround it, but for security reasons, I don't recommend it.

However, I'll try my best to continue supporting future Xcode versions here.

What is this

I'm a beginner of Cocoa developing, and just started using Xcode recently. In my immature opinion, Xcode is lack of navigating skills. This plug-in lets you jump between methods, or other items in the source editor.

How does it work

A simple illumination:

I did some research about DVTKit and related sources, and found some ways to get the range of the methods and other items in the current source file. Then I just wrote some code that check the current location and find where to go next.

When you press the key combination specified by yourself, you can move around the source code more easier and faster.

Default Key Combination:

CTRL + [ : jump up
CTRL + ] : jump down

You can change the key combination by selecting:

Editor -> Change BlockJump Shortcut

Limitation

The targets where the caret could jump to are the same as items displayed in

Menu -> View -> Standard Editor -> Show Document Items

For now, I couldn't do more beyond that.

This plug-in is built under OS X 10.9.2 & Xcode 5.1 and should work on the later version.

Installation

You can either

Use Alcatraz
Download(Clone) the source and build it(cmd + B) in Xcode.

Then restart Xcode and it should work.

Uninstallation

Just delete the bundle with the name of BlockJump.xcplugin in

~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins

You may also want to remove two keys called: (Remaining is OK, they won't harm anything.)

com.tyeen.xcplugin.blockjump.jumppreviousblockkey
com.tyeen.xcplugin.blockjump.jumpnextblockkey

in the file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
