Another view is called Hierarchy view that allows to see subtypes/supertypes/classes hierarchy and can be invoked from the Navigate menu. First of all, it’s the Project View, the main project and project files browser. To give you a better picture of the structure and hierarchy of your project, AppCode has dedicated views. If gutter navigation icons and Go To options are new to you, I definitely recommend giving them a try, because these actions can save you time daily, even hourly. With the help of these little icons you can in one click jump to method’s definition or declaration, super methods, overridden methods, go to implementation or super class and much more. They give you another way of navigating through your code, in particular they can be quite useful to navigate through class hierarchy. Perhaps, you’ve already noticed small icons in the gutter area. To navigate between recent files and views use Cmd+E. For example, if you have a huge file and you need to navigate to a specific line, press Cmd+L. You can find more options in the Navigate menu. Pressing Cmd+B will get you to the first one, however there’s a way to choose a definition you want to navigate to – use Alt+Cmd+B instead. Say, you have a method (or a class) that has several implementations. Just place a caret at any symbol, like variable, method, or practically anything, and hit Cmd+B to jump to that symbol’s definition.
If you know precisely, that you want to get to a definition of MyFavoriteVariable, use Go to Symbol ( Cmd+Alt+O).Īnother important action from the Go to… family is Go to definition. No worries, AppCode can match a substring in the search. However, as it often happens, you might not remember the whole name of the class or file you’re looking for. No need to type the whole name, just use CamelHumps. The fastest way to do this is to use Go to Class… ( Cmd+O) or Go to File… ( Cmd+Shift+O). When working on your own project, you often know which file or class you want to open and edit. Not to waste your time, let’s drill into details and we’ll start with the essentials. Once you try them, you’ll quickly find your way around.

Of course, all the projects vary, and every developer has own navigation preferences and habits, so the best way to navigate through the code is a matter of taste and AppCode gives plenty of choice here: use Go To commands, gutter navigation, special views, quick lookup or usages search. It also comes in handy with your own code as your project grows.
If you ever tried to investigate someone else’s code, you know that efficient project navigation can be crucial.
