I have a form with many UITextFields and I'd like the user to have the ability to jump to the next after typing.
Nor "Next" neither "Continue" does anything when I set if I set it in the "Return Key" section on my storyboard.

You can try
self.fnTexf.returnKeyType = .next
//
func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool { //delegate method
if let next = self.view.viewWithTag(textfield.tag + 1) as? UITextfeild
{
next.becomeFirstResponder()
}
else
{
textField.resignFirstResponder()
}
return true
}

So what if I have 50 form elements? Do I really need to do all this in the 9th version of xcode? Android has "nextfocus", is there anything similar in Xcode? – breakline May 10 '18 at 23:24

you can access the next with tag – Sh_Khan May 10 '18 at 23:24

Can you share how and where I can call this "textFieldShouldReturn"? – breakline May 10 '18 at 23:28

Actually I typed that wrong, these are UITextFields/input forms – breakline May 10 '18 at 23:29

see connect all your textfeilds as outletCollection which gives you an array of them then for loop all and set incrementing tag and delegate – Sh_Khan May 10 '18 at 23:31

if you have 50 textfeilds i recommend using stackView to insert them in code – Sh_Khan May 10 '18 at 23:32

Thanks, i think I get it, well I already have the textfields so code is not an option, but they are in a stack view, I just wanted a quick way to do this like on Android – breakline May 10 '18 at 23:33

Also note instead of self.view.viewWithTag it will be indexing your array of textfeilds as the former is for textfeilds setted in IB , keep going – Sh_Khan May 10 '18 at 23:35
