Answer
If you have a file open in Safari, you can tap on the address bar and replace http:// with textastic:// and hit return. Textastic will open and it will download the file over http.

When downloading a lot of files, app crashed due a inactivity.

Arturo Emilio Gonzalez 11 years ago in iPad 0

Should be fixed with background downloading. That would avoid the crashing when there are a lot of files. Mine crash when i try to download 1000 files from sftp. Also, i' love an option that when app is foreground stop the ipad from locking the device.

Update to the new TextExpander

Chrstfer Carrigan Brolly 10 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 3
TextExpander recently (Dec. 5, 2013) updated to a new version with a new and improved implementation of snippet sharing. The TextExpander SDK for iOS has been updated for this new version. Obviously its recent (four days) but it would be useful. 

Categorized as a bug, because the feature that is now semi-broken. 

Not sure if this idea board is being used still, last post is 9mo ago, but the app seems to still be in development, given (relatively) recent updates.

Custom syntax definition, compatible with Textmate, but without bundle

Dimitri K 11 years ago in iPad updated 11 years ago 2

I'm using several my own themes and syntax definition files with Sublime editor (all files are compatible with Textmate). Was able to install theme files on Textastic, works well. But not my syntax definition files as they should be a part of bundle.. - any reason to not accept just a syntax file as it?.. - I'm not using Textmate, but need my syntax definitions to work comfortable on iPad too. Any possible fix here? Workaround?..


Thank you!


Rgds,

-Dimitri

Annoying pop up...

Masaaki Tsukioka 11 years ago in iPad updated 11 years ago 2

It is annoying that this app shows the pop up of Select | Select All | Paste every time moving cursor while writing code. I think those items should be in additional keys instead of showing pop up. Other things are great :)
