You can switch models or customize the key combination (default: ctrl+shift+tab) by editing in Shortcuts app.
The workflow is not limited to Xcode. It integrates with the "Shortcuts" section of the "Services" menu and can be used from any app that uses the macOS text system.

When porting Objective-C code to Swift, I use the following Shortcut to get started:

⌨️ In Xcode, select the code to convert and press ctrl+shift+tab
🤖 Shortcut sends the selection to the ChatGPT API
📋 Converted Swift code is placed on the pasteboard

[Thomas Zoechling @weichsel]

Results for more complex snippets should be taken with a grain of salt - but most of the time they are also good starting points for the conversion process.

Have you ever wondered why the world is full of box-shaped buildings with square windows, plain walls, and no ornamentation?

Well, it's because of this house in Austria.

It may look ordinary, but that's the point. It's actually 112 years old...

@jordanborth @stroughtonsmith Thank you Jordan!

@leonspok @stroughtonsmith Yes. On macOS 13, ScreenCaptureKit allows you to enable “capturesAudio”. With this property set to “true”, you get audio sample buffers passed into your stream output handler.

@eternalstorms Not sure if this available in the Windows version, but most OpenSSL distributions provide a command line wrapper for zlib compressed streams: openssl zlib -d ...

[Thomas Zoechling @weichsel]

@eternalstorms A ZIP archive isn’t necessarily compressed. If it uses compression for its entries, it’s DEFLATE most of the times. If you want to read/write valid ZIP files, you can have a look at https://t.co/vN3cKQmgaq.

[Thomas Zoechling @weichsel]

@eternalstorms zlib provides an implementation of the DEFLATE (de)compression algorithm. It’s available on most platforms (hence the recommendation). A DEFLATE compressed file is not a valid ZIP archive though. ZIP is an archiving format specifying file/directory/symlink+metadata storage.

[Thomas Zoechling @weichsel]

A lot of new features and quality of life improvements will make it into the next version of @mindnode.
