XCode function popup

I love the XCode function popup, particularly in Objective C, because I can add #pragma mark comments to divide up the list.

Unfortunately languages that aren’t C derived don’t offer #pragma, so I missed these little dividers

Then I noticed that a comment that contained FIXME had appeared in the list too, looking just as if it were a #pragma mark entry

Looking at the XCode documentation reveals that XCode will also search code comments for a range of keywords and use them to control entries in the function popup. And it will do this for Java, Perl, Python, and Ruby (as well as the C based C, Objective-C and C++).
