Xcode’s “Copy Qualified Symbol Name” Command
Xcode Tip Of The Day:
[Xcode > Edit > Copy Qualified Symbol Name]
Or: Cmd+Shift+Option+Ctrl+C
It’s hard to type with one hand but rather useful. For example, you can put the cursor anywhere in a method definition or call, and it will copy the full name to the clipboard, e.g.:
-[NSArray(NSExtendedArray) enumerateObjectsWithOptions:usingBlock:] removeAll(keepCapacity:)
You don’t have to select any of the pieces.
Now, if only Open Quickly supported qualified symbols…
For sure: 10450773. Pile on!
My most recent Radar number is 27865953, so I guess people have been wanting this for a long time.

In Xcode 8, place the cursor above a method or function & press “⌥ + ⌘ + /” to auto-generate a doc comment.
