和这篇文章一样，以下基本都是从becoming productive in xcode中取得的
===Text Macros===
添加自己的TextMacros（XCode 3.2.5测试通过，XCode 4 未测试）
在~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/下面新建Specifications文件夹，建立与/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/PlugIns/TextMacros.xctxtmacro/Contents/Resources文件夹下类似的*.xctxtmacro文件即可
例子
(
{
Identifier = objc.hello;
BasedOn = objc;
IsMenuItem = YES;
OnlyAtBOL= YES;
Name = "Hello";
TextString = "Hello, XCode!";
CompletionPrefix = "hello";
IncludeContexts = ("xcode.lang.objc");
},
{
Identifier = objc.property;
BasedOn = objc;
IsMenuItem = YES;
OnlyAtBOL= YES;
Name = "@property Definition";
TextString = "@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet <#type#> *<#variable#>;";
CompletionPrefix = "prop";
IncludeContexts = ("xcode.lang.objc.interface");
},
{
Identifier = objc.rectmake;
BasedOn = objc;
IsMenuItem = YES;
OnlyAtBOL= YES;
Name = "RectMake";
TextString = "CGRect aRect = \n\tCGRectMake(<#x#>, <#y#>, <#width#>, <#height#>);";
CompletionPrefix = "cgrm";
IncludeContexts = ("xcode.lang.objc.block");
}
)
上面的代码添加了三个textmacro：
第一个仅仅是测试用，代码中输入hello即有自动补全提示，补全成Hello，Xcode！。
第二个效果是输入prop，然后 ⌃. 自动补全成@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet <#type#> *<#variable#>;的形式，具体实验一下就知道了。
第三个类似，不多说了。
首先注意一下OnlyAtBOL这一行，在新版本的XCode中如果不加上这一行则textmacro无法生效。具体请看这一段的解释：
There is a bug on TextMacros in the latest versions of Xcode (I encourage you to send a bugreport to Apple as I did)
In fact, only TextMacros that have the value “YES” for the key “OnlyAtBOL” will work. If this key is not present (or set to NO), the macro will not respond to autocompletion.
Actually, the new “OnlyAtBOL” key means “Only at Beginning Of Line”, so the autocompletion for this macro will only work if it is triggered in the beggining of a line. But in fact, quite every macro I need everyday comply to this constraint (ifelse, nslog, nss, …) so this is acceptable.
If you want those macros (that does not work because of the lack of OnlyAtBOL set to YES) to work again, you need to add/override their specifications in your “Application Support” directory (in a custom TextMacro file that override them), until the Xcode team fixes that bug.
