Is there any easy way to open a new line below current line in Xcode text editor? Currently I have to press cmd+right and enter for this purpose. Eclipse (Shift+Enter) and vim (o) can do that with simple key combination.

NOTES if you have permissions problem in saving the file. just copy the file to your desktop, edit it, and then move the file to the location /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
