Re[2]: [xcode] More clarification: Adding Keywords?

Search for the file: Built-in languages.pblangspec ...on your machine. It contains the keywords for the built in languages, including things like 'boolean' and 'for'. You can use those structures as templates for your own stuff.

Hi Pete - Oh JOY! That was it. I entered a bunch of words, restarted XCode and... there they were, in all their colorful splendor!

This turns out to be not only a cosmetic tweak, but I can stop having to rebuild because I mistyped a word as 'OSstatus' or 'Sint32'. Now, when the keywords I expect to see don't change color, I know there's something wrong. Additionally, I can add things like my macros (such 'CFSR' for CFStringRef) and they'll stand out as representative of a type.

CodeWarrior has support for a User Dictionary that pretty much does the same thing - only it has a nice GUI interface for adding and subtracting entries. (Creating something like that sounds like a cool opportunity for some XCode-intern to make a visible contribution to the Apple Developer's workspace.)

Anyway - THANKS for the vector to the secret compartment of the 'keyword goodies'. I will put in my two cents for an XCode enhancement at bugreporter.com. Mebbe others might chime in - it could end up appearing on the 'cool features radar'.

Best Wishes,

Lance Drake
