Xcode built-in snippets edit

Question

Is there a way to edit Xcode\'s built-in snippets? There is an edit button, but pressing it doesn\'t seem to allow changing the snippet\'s text.

Any insight is appr

Answer 1

You can edit system code snippets manually:

1. Go to this directory: "/Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns".
2. Show package contents of "IDECodeSnippetLibrary.ideplugin"
3. Open "Contents/Resources/SystemCodeSnippets.codesnippets" as text file
4. Edit it

.codesnippets file is a .plist but some strings entered with CR/LF and cannot be edited by standard plist editor.
