Question

I’d like to map a key to move the cursor in the XCode up by ten lines. Of course, I want another one to move down too. The key mapping would ideally be something like ‘Control-Alt-P’.

Is there a way to achieve this in XCode without resorting to Automator?

Ashley has the answer below, the formatting was a little different as the property list is in XML format.

In summary, added an entry in the following format to the ‘text’ section of *.pbxkeys in ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/Key Bindings/:

    <key>^~p</key>     <array>         <string>moveUp:</string>         <string>moveUp:</string>     </array>

You can use the example given here and use a DefaultKeyBinding.dict file, except use moveUp: and moveDown: as your selectors.

Your particular dictionary entry would look something like this:

{     '^~P' = (         'moveUp:',         'moveUp:',         'moveUp:',         ... however many times ...         'moveUp:',     ); } 

I have since learned that if you have customized your keybindings through Xcode already you should instead add the same dictionary entry to your .pbxkeys file under the text dictionary section.
