AppCode 2017.3 Help

Searching Everywhere

AppCode makes it possible to look for any item of the source code, databases, actions, elements of the user interface, etc. in a single action.

To search everywhere

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click search_everywhere in the upper-right corner of the AppCode window.
    • Double-press Shift
  2. In the pop-up window that opens, start typing the search string, to narrow down the suggestion list:
    ac searchEveryWhere

    The search string can be a name of a symbol or action, an option, or an abbreviation of an action.

  3. Select the desired target from the suggestion list. The further behavior depends on the search target. AppCode may silently navigate to the desired source code, show the desired setting, or a pop-up list of Find Action.

    You can also just press the desired shortcut, to switch from the Search everywhere pop-up window to any other navigation and search action: for example, press ⌘O to jump to the selected class, or ⌘, to show the corresponding option in the Preferences dialog.

To configure search everywhere scopes

  1. In the Search Everywhere dialog, click gearPlain 2x.
  2. Turn on or off the desired search scopes:
    ac searchEveryWhereScopes
