Greets,

In Visual Studio C++ mode, CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE gives you a nice popup which tells you the arguments and types of those arguments when you start typing a function:

printf( 

So, pressing ctrl+shift+space after typing the above would show something like

int printf( const char * format, ... ) ;

Like it shows you the prototype of the function.

Xcode is worse for that however.

NSRange firstX = [txt rangeOfString:@"X"] ;

Is there a way to "ask" xcode what the return type of a function (rangeOfString, for example), or better yet, what the function prototype looks like, will be without having to look it up in the docs on the net?

If you type carefully, you CAN have Xcode copy-in some weird template with fill-in-the-blanks placeholders. That works fine but is tedious. Looking for a CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE style information box..
