Changing Xcode 4’s default code snippets
Xcode 4 brought along a code snippets feature that is actually useful. Nearly as useful as TextMate snippets but not quite as powerful. One of the most annoying things though is that Xcode bundles in a bunch of default snippets that you can neither edit nor remove in Xcode.
With a little snooping around it’s pretty easy to find how to update these or get rid of them so you can have your code looking the way you like again.
Is what you’re looking for. It’s a .plist and pretty straight forward. I tend to back up the System one and symlink my own from a Dropbox directory for all my replacements.
Note you shouldn’t remove this file though just empty it out if you’re looking to get rid of all the snippets.
