Answer 1

You can connect multiple buttons to a single action without selecting them all at once.

However, after creating the action, you need to save the source file containing the action before Xcode will let you connect another control to the action.

I did this with Xcode 4.6.2:

Answer 3

You should be able to do this in IB. In IB, simply point them at the same IBAction in the relevant class.

When the action comes, in case you want to know from which button you got the action, you can then differentiate between the buttons within the IBAction method either by reading the text from the button or using the tag attribute which you should have set from IB.

- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"Button pressed: %@", [sender currentTitle]);
    NSLog(@"Button pressed: %@", [sender tag]);
}

Swift 3.0 Xcode 8.0+

Connect all buttons to below method signature. Make sure argument sender is of type UIButton (Or subclass of UIButton) in-order to connect rest of the buttons from storyboard.

@IBAction func dialconfigTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {}

Use sender.tag to identify the tapped button.

In Xcode 5, after setting action for the 1st button, I have to build the app. This then allows me to connect other buttons action to this same IBAction method

        }
        if(button.tag==2){

            //your stuff!
        }
        if(button.tag==3){
