Quick Add

A Xcode Source Editor Extension to quickly add a method implementation with comment from selected text

Why?

Xcode was lacking a way to quickly add a method. So I created it.

Installation Guide (Xcode 8+ / OSX 10.11+)

1. download the Quick Add app
2. unzip and copy to Applications folder
3. Run (right click + open)
4.  System Preferences ⇒ Extensions ⇒ All ⇒ QuickAddPlugin. (See image 1 below.)
5.  System Preferences ⇒ Keyboard ⇒ Shortcuts. Add Shortcut ⌥⌘i for Add method with comment. (See image 2 below.)
6. open Xcode
7. Select any Swift source file
8. check if Editor -> Quick Add is there

1. Download and unzip the project.
2. Open "Add Method.xcodeproj".
3. Enable target signing for both the Application and the Source Code Extension.
4. Product > Archive.

8. Drag Add Method.app to Applications folder.
9. Run Add Method.app and exit.
