XCode 8.0

[araid]

I tried updating to 8.0 by just adding the UUID, but it didn't work. Then I read that XCode 8 won't load plugins anymore: alcatraz/Alcatraz#475

Not sure if there's any way to rewrite this a source editor extension... :/

Yeah, the Xcode 8 issue is pretty sad. I can understand Apples reasoning behind this step but the collateral damage is severe. This was bound to happen some day, plug-ins where never officially supported.

I am not sure whether one could achieve the same functionality with a source editor extension. I will look deeper into the API when I find the time.

hey @mthiesen, have you looked into it (editor extension) ? wanted to know before going myself

[mthiesen]

So far I didn't. Let me know what you find out.

Hey, I have been experimenting new xcode editor extensions and I have managed to describe the wanted behavior.. yet I need to fallback to original (built-in) copy/cut/paste calls in case there is a selection (selection.lenght > 0). I'm wondering how to trigger those original implementation, any idea?

So I finally managed to reproduce the original behavior and I do fallback to it if there is any selection, so now I can bind it to native keyboard shortcuts, looks like it's working.
Developing xcode editor extensions is a pain in the ass, really..
Hope you can try it around and give me some feedback

Does the extension work in xCode 9?
