That’s okay, I appreciate the honesty. Xcode has gotten better and better as far as accessibility, to the point where it’s now mostly usable and reliable. Apparently Plist editing is one area that hasn’t gotten any love in that area yet. Maybe Xcode 8? Fortunately I don’t do much with these files, so this isn’t something I’ll need very often.
