Is there an alternate way to connect your UI elements without doing the ctrl drag?

Title says it all. Just wondering if there's an alternate way to connect code to UI elements.

Pasan explained few videos ago:

  • You can connect elements by ctrl drag or just right clicking on your UI element and selecting the New Referencing Outlet or Action or whatever you need to connect.

Hope it helps.

The two ways that I am aware of is to, ctrl drag or manually enter objective-c code that is automatically enter for you when using Ctrl drag into your header or implementation file.

Weird. Hopefully in the future there will be different ways to do it w/ Swift. I just find the drag thing to be clunky. Its kind of unity-like. I did find out you can write your code and then drag from code to UI, so that's at least better than dealing w/ a pop up box. :)
