Mouse vs keyboard

In Xcode, you use the mouse frequently. AppCode is much more shortcut-friendly, based on the idea that you can code faster keeping your hands on the keyboard. The keymap is tightly integrated with IDE features and actions, so to use AppCode efficiently we suggest that you learn some basic shortcuts and try to incorporate them into your daily development as much as possible.

You can download the printable keymaps from our website: Xcode, Default.

We also recommend installing the IDE Features Trainer plugin from the repository to help familiarize yourself with the IDE features and add some to your coding arsenal.
