revolter / xprop

Plugin for Xcode 4 that will exclude @property and @synthesize document items from the navigator menu.

Problem

Xcode has got a shortcut Control-6 or View ➭ Standard Editor ➭ Show Document Items to navigate between methods in the source file. This command is awesome, but has one annoying problem: the popup menu includes all top-level identifiers including “private” properties and synthesizers.

Solution

The plugin Xprop will hide all garbage from the Document Items menu. As result, no more distraction.

Installation

Click the ZIP button to download a project, open it in Xcode and press Command-B or Product ➭ Build, then realunch Xcode and move the project into Trash.

Usage

Hit the command View ➭ Standard Editor ➭ Hide Properties from Document Items in the main menu.

Support

Geek?

Building plugins for Xcode is interesting and really easy. I started by looking into the project sources listed on StackOverflow.
