Overview

This is the public repo for the Multi Edit Xcode plugin. This plugin allows developers to quickly and easily edit multiple instances of a selected term in a source document. This is a feature borrowed from many professional text editors, such as Sublime Text.

Examples:

Installation

The plugin can be installed easily through the Alcatraz Plugin Manager

for Xcode, or installed manually by simply downloading or cloning the repo and running the project.

Usage

Shift-Option-A: Include next instance of the selected term

Shift-Option-Z: Undo the last selection

Shift-Option-S: Undo the last selection and select the next instance

Then simply type out your replacement text and hit enter.

Requirements

May work on earlier versions but has not been tested. If you experience problems try updating to the latest version.
