I am a devoted Emacs user, although not so devoted that I don't find
Xcode's editor acceptable for code development. It's a trade-off which
I use more for text editing overall, though, because I do so much work
with LaTeX, and I use Emacs for all of that.
As a result, there are always a few awkward transition moments, like
typing CMD-W for CMD-C, closing the window when I meant to copy.
Actually more annoying is when I type CTRL-X CTRL-S for CMD-S when I
mean to save. Nothing happens on the screen, but it hides an invisible
\177 character that comes back to bite me when I try to compile.
"Stray \177 in program," is a compiler error. The build window gives
one the line number, at which point one has to use the arrow keys on
the line until it "doesn't move" over one character and delete it.
This process is time-consuming and tedious.
I would like to bounce on this one to ask if it could not be possible
to add an option in Xcode to state that when I type a Stray in my code,
it's not what I really want and that Xcode should replace it with a
space (most of the time) or a tab.
Because I discovered that 15% of the time when I'm typing this kind of
code:
if (a || b)
I usually insert a stray after || as I'm typing Option + Space.
