Hi all,
One (of several) things I still always switch to CodeWarrior for is
'find in files'. I have a few problems/questions wrt Xcode's 'Find in
Files'...
1) the results window has two main parts: a) above: the list of search
results and b) below: the contents of the text file containing the
result selected above. CodeWarrior is the same. If I select a search
result in the list I can them press the 'tab' key to move the cursor
focus down to the view of the file below. Is there a key press to move
the selection back up to the list of results? In CodeWarrior it is
Option-Tab. I find it very handy to arrow key through the search
results, tab down, make changes, then option-tab back up, then continue
arrowing through the results.
2) In CW, every item in the list corresponds to a search result. In
Xcode, an item in the list is either a search result or the name of the
file (with disclosure triangle). I appreciate that its trying to group
results by file, which has its good points, but it makes arrowing
through the results quite bizzare! I like to arrow through and keep my
eyes on the bottom half of the window, and sometimes I find myself not
looking at the term I searched for. Am I alone in disliking this?
3) Are there any tricks to make Xcode search faster? CW has all the
results displayed before Xcode even finishes its "Preparing to find..."
stage. :(
Thanks,
