Fz Fuzzy Autocomplete for Xcode

Xcode 7 support

Most things seem to work. To try out the plugin in Xcode 7, clone the xcode7 branch and build the plugin. And please do file any encountered issues on github.

Install via Alcatraz and/or binary release coming soon.

FuzzyAutocomplete 2.1

This is a Xcode 5+ plugin that patches the autocomplete filter to work the same way the Open Quickly works. It performs very well, and the fuzzy matching actually uses Xcode's own IDEOpenQuicklyPattern.

Demo

Authors
