如何修改Xcode的描述弹窗，使其包含对应键盘快捷键？

Hey there! Great question—adding those handy keyboard shortcuts to Xcode's hover tooltips for control buttons is totally achievable, though it requires tweaking some of Xcode's internal resource files. Here's a step-by-step guide to make it happen:

Step 1: Close Xcode First #

Make sure Xcode is completely closed before you start—if it's running, the files we need to edit will be locked and unmodifiable.

Step 2: Access Xcode's Package Contents #

• Navigate to your Applications folder (or find Xcode in Launchpad)
• Right-click the Xcode icon and select Show Package Contents
• From the new window that opens, go to Contents/Resources/
• Select the language folder matching your Xcode interface—for English, this is en.lproj; for Simplified Chinese, it's zh-Hans.lproj

Step 3: Edit the Tooltip Strings File #

• Inside the language folder, locate the IDEKit.strings file (this stores most of Xcode's UI text, including tooltips)
• Open it with Xcode or a plain text editor (Xcode is recommended since it handles the strings file format cleanly)
• Use the search function to find the tooltip you want to modify. For example, search for the default stop button tooltip: "Stop running scheme or application"
• You'll find a key-value pair that looks like this:

  "IDEToolbarStopButton.toolTip" = "Stop running scheme or application";
  

• Modify the value to include the keyboard shortcut. For the stop button, update it to:

  "IDEToolbarStopButton.toolTip" = "Stop running scheme or application ⌘.";
  

Step 4: Save and Restart Xcode #

Save your changes to the IDEKit.strings file, then launch Xcode again. Hover over the stop button (or whichever control you modified) and you'll now see the tooltip with the added keyboard shortcut!

Important Notes #

• Xcode Updates Will Override Changes: Every time you update Xcode to a new version, these modifications will be wiped. You'll need to repeat the process after each update.
• Stick to Your Language Folder: Make sure you edit the strings file in the folder that matches your Xcode's display language—otherwise, the changes won't show up.
• Don't Mess With Unfamiliar Keys: Only modify the tooltip entries you recognize; altering other strings could cause unexpected issues with Xcode's functionality.
