As answered by people managing Rider and CreateFiles+.
CreateFiles+'s answer:
Xcode and Swift
CreateFiles+'s answer:
macOS should have created this feature out of the box but does not exist. Windows users have had this feature for over a decade. I created this to remove that gap for macOS users.
CreateFiles+'s answer:
I am not familiar with any competitors doing this today.
CreateFiles+'s answer:
Power Users, Developers, Productivity focused users, students, teachers, creators.

CreateFiles+'s answer:
