XCode [[ClassName alloc] init]] keyboard shortcut / autocomplete

Question

Does a keyboard shortcut exist or is there a way to create a custom shortcut for allocating and initializing a class? Say we have:

MyCustomClass customClass =

At this point there should be an autocomplete option to:

MyCustomClass customClass = [[MyCustomClass alloc] init];

Answer 1

You can use a snippet, but you will need to type in your custom class anyways. A faster way for init is to use [MyCustomClass new] .
