Simulator slow-motion animations are now on?

The shortcut as of Xcode 6 is Command ⌘+T. This toggles it between on and off, so to turn it off just punch that combination.


Just figured this out:

You can toggle slow-motion animations on and off by pressing Shift three times in succession while the iOS Simulator is in focus.


In the simulator at the top bar, go to Debug

Slow Animations and check it off or on.

Nothing to it.


because there's no home button in the iPad simulator since iOS 5.0, we need a key combination (shift+command+h), which may activate slow motion. This glitch keeps happening to me, and quite annoying.


I ran into this same problem, and it seems that now the shortcut is +T to toggle it on any app that you're running. If you're on the home screen it should toggle all of the base OS animation speeds.


In Xcode 11, the shortcut command + T didn't work for me.


To solve it:

  1. Open simulator
  2. Click on the debug menu
  3. deselect "Slow Animations" from the menu.
  4. Done

One reason this keeps happening to me is I use a VNC viewer to remotely work on my Mac mini, and it defaults to sending repeated keypresses whenever any key (including shift) is held down.

So even though "I" am not pressing shift multiple times, if I use the physical keyboard to enter text, then just holding shift down long enough to type a few letters results in the Mac seeing it multiple times and toggling the slow animations.

One work around is to not use the physical keyboard, but instead always "type" using the mouse to select letters on the simulators pop-up keyboard.
