1) Can I get xcode to remember the position and shape of windows? I
have
grown accustomed to my c-code windows opening up 80 columns wide,
with .c
windows on the left and .h windows on the right. Xcode opens them up
something like 120 columns wide and doesn't remember where I put
them. I
don't see any config setting to change 120 to 80. Any suggestions?
In Xcode's preferences, you can set it to "Save project window states
when closing" (under General).
This saves the position and size as well as open documents.
I don't think there is anything to set a specific column size,
however, under the Text Editing section, you can set it to show a page
guide at the column you specify (default: 80).
I believe I did see that option when I was hunting around when I first
encountered this issue a couple months ago. But it's "save PROJECT
window
states when closing". That implies that my file has to be part of a
project
for the state to be saved. I'm using the xcode editor for any
non-word-processing text file that I open. Many are readme's, output
of
text based programs, etc. Not part of any project. My reason for
using
xcode for this purpose (as well as for code developement) is that I
don't
want to know two text editors.
Seeing the option implemented that way, my guess is that saving it per
project instead of per file is a result of resource fork abandonment
in OSX.
Code Warrior saved that info in a file's resource fork.
Try sizing an editor window to the dimensions you want prefer and then
select the menu item Window->Defaults... a sheet should appear from the
window asking if this is the default window layout you want. This
should give you an editor window the size you prefer when opening files
without a project or when first opened them in a project.
2) I don't care for wraparound search. I can turn it off in the
find panel
but this setting is discarded if I quit xcode. Is there not some
way I can
disable wraparound search pemananently?
I would probably file something like this (settings not being saved)
with
Radar.
What is Radar?
