| If you work on a Swift project that follows the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture or similar, you may want to | |
| jump to counterpart in Xcode from your view to your model, and then to your view model. (ie. by using Ctrl+Cmd+Up and Ctrl+Cmd+Down). | |
| You can do this in recent versions of Xcode by setting a configuration default. | |
| From a terminal, just type this command and press Enter: | |
| #+BEGIN_SRC sh | |
| defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEAdditionalCounterpartSuffixes -array-add "ViewModel" "View" | |
| #+END_SRC | |
| Restart Xcode and navigate to one of your Swift model files. You'll see counterparts more tailored to your project architecture | |
| now: | |

| Ctrl+Cmd+Up and Ctrl+Cmd+Down will cycle those files and their interfaces generated by SourceKit. | |
| If you want to revert the change, simply run this in a terminal and restart Xcode: | |
| #+BEGIN_SRC sh | |
| defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEAdditionalCounterpartSuffixes | |
| #+END_SRC | |
| This configuration used to work for the Objective-C family of languages, but recent versions of Xcode seem to have added support for | |
| Swift too. |
