Another thing I can't find in xcode: cursor position. ie, what column
am I in?
Go to Preferences -> Text Editing. There is a checkbox labeled "Show
column position".
I find this very useful because it means I can maintain a potentially
neat printed page or terminal display if necessary.
Me too.
Unless anyone has other suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Hey, I just noticed another Preference called "Show page guide" that
lets you pick a line width. Turning it on causes a light gray vertical
line to be displayed at the position you choose, presumably so you can
see how close you are to the edge as you are typing. Woo hoo!
I have an old habit of using horizontal dividers in my code that are
exactly seventy-something characters wide. For example, I group all my
accessor methods together and precede them with this:
/
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
// Getters and setters
/
/-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--
I size my editor window so it's slightly wider than this divider. This
works well for me because I do all my editing in one window. It also
forces/helps me to think of my methods in logically grouped categories.
