Xcode code snippets not showing in autocomplete

Question

I've just started using code snippets for the first time, i've added a snippet, set the shortcut, but when I type the shortcut and hit Esc - it doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong? I've tried restarting Xcode too but it still doesn't work. Shortcuts to the other code snippers work fine.

Answer 1

I had same issue, I was not able to get code snippet while start typing. I figure out while editing code snippet I have not mentioned Completion filed and that was the issue.

Answer 2

When I worked with the code snippet functionality built into Xcode for the first time, I had trouble finding the right "Completion Scope". You could change it to "All" to find out if it's a mistake in there. But in your case I can see you want to post methods so "Top Level" should be alright. Just keep it in mind for the future.
