Question

Is there any keyboard shortcut for '// MARK:' in swift like there is for header doc '/// Description' ?

Answer 1

No there isn't any shortcuts for the //MARK. However, you can create a code snippet for it and re-use whenever and wherever you want.

Steps:

• Declare a //MARK statement on top of extension or method
• Drag the //MARK into the code snippet section (it's to the left of object library section at bottom right part of Xcode)

• You would be asked to create a name for the snippet. Label it appropriately. And that's it.

• For usage, Drag and drop this snippet anywhere you want
