Shortcut Flow watches what you actually click in Xcode and turns it into a one-minute daily drill. Think Duolingo, but for keyboard shortcuts.
This guide lists 122 Xcode shortcuts as they work on macOS, read from the app itself and kept up to date by Shortcut Flow.
What is the fastest way to open a file in Xcode?
Open Quickly (Command-Shift-O) fuzzy-matches file and symbol names, which is almost always faster than the project navigator.
What is the fastest way to learn Xcode shortcuts?
Not by reading the full list. Shortcut Flow watches which commands you actually use in Xcode and drills you on those first, one minute a day, so the shortcuts you need most stick within days.
