The thing that most often aggravates me about Xcode is that I don't
know how to move the cursor into the current viewable area in an editor
if it is not already there. In BBEdit or CodeWarrior, for example, I
would use option+downarrow or option+uparrow to move the cursor to the
button line or top line of the viewable area, respectively. Does
anyone know if there is something similar in Xcode? I have looked
through the docs on editor navigation and looked through I think all
relevant key bindings in Preferences, but haven't found anything.
In case I'm not being clear, let me give an example scenario:
* I open a source file into an editor window. To start with, the
cursor is on the first line and the editor view is the first 30 lines
of the source file (cuz the window height fits 30 lines).
* I page-down twice. Now the editor view shows lines 61-90 or
thereabouts, and the cursor is still positioned on line 1.
* Now I want to edit something that I see, but the cursor is way off
the page. I hit an arrow key and, annoyingly, the editor view
immediately jumps back to the first 30 lines cuz that's where the
cursor was.
It's that last bit that I want to avoid. I want some key combo to move
the cursor right to the middle of the current editor view, or at least
somewhere in there. Any hope with Xcode now, or should I file a bug?
thanks,
Marc
