Editing a snippet
NOTE
Currently, you can only edit User snippets. To create your own version of one of the existing snippets, copy and
paste the code into a User snippet and save it with a new name.
You can now edit the following settings:
Title:
This defines the name that appears in the Library list.
Summary:
This defines the short description that appears in the Library list.
Platform:
Select iOS, OS X, or All. Currently this feature does nothing—all snippets are user snip-
pets—but it may be more useful in future versions of Xcode.
Language:
This defaults to Objective-C. You can select a different language manually.
Completion shortcut:
You can leave this empty or fill it with any unique string to provide a quick-access
keyboard shortcut for Code Completion.
