Keyboard shortcut for object library search field in xcode

Question

Is there a key combination that will directly place the cursor in the search field of the object library. Whenever I want to add a new view, I drag the mouse to the lower right corner and click on the search field to search for objects such as "button" "label" instead, I look for a key combination.

Answer 1

Update for Xcode 10

Old

In the object library, you can set focus directly on the object, simply by pressing a specific key for the object from the keyboard,

Focus on the object library ⌃⌥⌘ 3 / Command + Option - Ctrl +3

If you want UIButton, just press B , and focus on UIButton.

You do not need to search in the search bar every time.

Or

You can change the gridview of the object library so that you can see more controls at the same time,

Than you will see how

There is an easier way than the accepted answer.

Command + option + L

Something else that I just found out. Pressing the enter key after selecting an object in the panel of the object library will add it to the storyboard inside the currently selected view.

All instructions for using the library for xCode version 10 and higher

1. If you have a cursor on the storyboard, you will see a library of objects and can be accessed using the shortcut

Command + option + L

2. If you have a cursor on your Class file, you will see the Code Library, and short will be the same

Command + option + L

3. The music library can be accessed from anywhere using the shortcut

Command + option + M

or holding the left mouse button over the library icon
