Code Formatting In Xcode

Question

Is there anyway to format the code in Xcode like you can do in Eclipse or Netbenas. I have not found any option in menu, is there any hot key for this or its simply not in X

Answer 1

My personal favorite code formatter is Uncrustify. It has many, many options, so I also suggest you download UniversalIndentGUI, a GUI to help set Uncrustify's behavior to your liking.

Answer 2

If you love looking your code like me, you really need this shortcut :)

You have to select with CMD + A for reformatting whole code segment.

All you need to do this, select the code segment which you want to reformat it and press : Ctrl + I Magically, It is just reformatted

Answer 3

You can also highlight the code you want to re indent, and use the re-indent command

Answer 4

^-I (control - capital i) : format the current line

⌘-A + ^-I : format the whole code file

Answer 5

In Xcode 4, it's been moved to Editor > Structure > Re-Indent command (and has a default shortcut of CTRL+I ).

Answer 6

Not saying this is best approach, but for completeness, if you cut and then paste the code back in, Xcode will automatically format it for you.
