tailscale ssh connection not working,

swissgrammie 1 year ago in iPad updated by Doug Rockney 4 months ago 5

so i want to attach to my server running tailscale, I have tailscale vpn running on the ipad and on the ubuntu server. i can do this from a terminal app. just by giving the ip address and the user. It comes back on the terminal app to tell me that i need to authenticate using an httplink. With textastic i just get the following error message in the terminal window.

ERROR: Failure requesting shell:

I realise this is quite specific so hoping its something you have hit before with vpn or if there is something else i can try?

Cursor position does not visibly update with option-delete (whole word delete) key combination

Gordon Smith 1 year ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 1 year ago 3

I’m using:

  • Textastic 9.9
  • iPad Pro 12.9 (4th generation)
  • iPadOS 16.2
  • Apple bluetooth keyboard

The option-delete key combinatian deletes the word to the left of the cursor, and each additional press deletes an additional word, as expected. However, the cursor position does not visibly update. This behaviour is new since I updated Textastic from the previous version (9.8?) to 9.9 this week.

It’s as if the real cursor becomes invisible when option-delete is first pressed, leaving behind a ghost cursor. The invisible real cursor moves correctly, while the ghost cursor does not move. The real cursor becomes visible in its correct position, and the ghost cursor disappears, as soon as I type something or use an arrow key to move the cursor.

The arrow keys don’t always cause the real cursor to reappear. For example, if the cursor is at the end of the file when I press option-delete, then pressing the right-arrow key will have no effect, probably because in that case the right-arrow key would not have moved the cursor anyway.

Block Selection using Option-Drag

J. Rahman 1 year ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 1 year ago 1

In various places in macOS, one can hold down the Option key and drag across a rectangular block of text to make a block text selection similar to how CTRL+V works in Vim to create a Visual Block. You may try this in Terminal or Sublime Text on your Mac to verify.


In Textastic, I would like to have the same Option-Drag feature to create Visual Blocks. It’s a super useful feature to have in a code editor. I apologise if this has already been implemented with some other key combination. If it is the latter, please let me know what that key combination is. Thank you.

Preview Scaling Issue

VILLMER 1 year ago in iPad updated 1 year ago 0

One issue I’ve always experienced in Textastic is that the standard Preview option doesn’t scale the browser window’s height properly.


Here is an example:

In Preview:

(You can see the bottom is cut off and requires scrolling)

Using Preview in Safari, this issue does not appear.

(You can see the bottom height is properly scaled)

PageUp & PageDown

Jacob Lundqvist 1 year ago in iPad 0
Would it be possible to introduce functional PageUp & PageDown in?
When working on code, it's really frustrating that all combos of up/down  arrows with <Fn> <Shift> <Ctrl> <Option> <Command> either move one line, or goes to top/end of document, making scrolling a rather disappointing experience.
Even if it due to iOS requires an odd key sequence, that would be minor, since it would be easy enough to memorize, convenient scrolling is an essential feature when dealing with documents longer than 30 lines.

Virtual Cmd key for iPad Standard Keyboard

Jacob Lundqvist 1 year ago in iPad 0
I normally always use an external keyboard, but mine just died, and it will take a few days to get a new one delivered.
This is the first time I use the on-screen keyboard, what I really miss is a quick way to do cut-paste. Some terminal apps like Blink have a virtual Alt key, would it be possible to in a similar fashion have an Cmd key, to speed up cut paste? Doing it by fiddling on the screen iOS style is far from practical if you do code refactoring etc

"Open in..." Textastic from inside Nextcloud app?

Fido94 2 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 2 years ago 1

Can I use the "Open in..." function to directly open a file for editing from inside another application? In this instance I am interested in browsing my nextcloud instance on my phone/ipad and opening .md .txt .html .whatever files directly in a text editor instead of having to first switch apps and then drill down from inside the editor.

Will this work?

Adding new language definition file

Michael Monto 2 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 2 years ago 1

I use Textastic to draft Batari Basic files.  Batari Basic is a coding language written as a high level language that converts to assembly language and finally converts to binary to be run on an Atari 2600.  Is there a way to customize Textastic with a word list of Batari Basic commands?  I've spend about 2 weeks trying to understand the customization instructions for Textastic with Sublime Text 3, .tmbundle packages, and .tmTheme files, but i just don't get it.  Is there a better step-by-step tutorial you know of that can help me?

Thank you!
