I'm running Xcode 3.1.2 under OS X 10.5.6, and I'm finding that the "Edit > Edit All in Scope" functionality is never active in any project. It's greyed out in the menu, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, the "right click" menu has it greyed out, it just isn't active.

Some quick google searches suggested that I need to have "Color indexed symbols" checked in the Fonts & Colors preferences in Xcode. I've done that (it was checked to begin with), but it doesn't seem to have helped anything -- the feature is still inactive.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get the "Edit All in Scope" functionality to activate?

We hear reports of this and have a few specific cases we're tracking, but we haven't gotten a "never active at all" case. Do other operations that are dependent on having an intact project index (e.g. the Project Symbols smartgroup, the Class Browser, Jump to Definition) work correctly? If not, your project index is corrupt; use Project > Edit Project Settings > General > Rebuild CodeSense Index to fix it.


If that doesn't work, please file a report at http://bugreporter.apple.com with a sample project if possible.


It turns out that I'm an idiot.

After some work with the Class Browser, Jump to Definition, etc. which all showed that the project index was fine, I went back and closely read through the "Tips" tab in the "Xcode News" window. There, I found that I had to select the variable name in question PRIOR to choosing Edit all in Scope, rather than just going into the scope in question and trying to activate the command (and expecting to be prompted for the variable to be modified). Yet another case of RTFM.

Thanks for the feedback on things to check, and apologies for having missed the obvious in the first place... :-(

P.S. It'd be nice if doing a help search on "Edit All in Scope" brought up something more than the menu item location (e.g., the text in the Tips tab about the feature).
