# ![Fz](https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/7301270?s=25) Fuzzy Autocomplete for Xcode



## Not compatible with Xcode 9



Xcode 9 beta has this functionality built in now!



## `FuzzyAutocomplete 2.1` 

 

This is a Xcode 5+ plugin that patches the autocomplete filter to work the same way the **Open Quickly** works. It performs very well, and the fuzzy matching actually uses Xcode's own `IDEOpenQuicklyPattern`.
