Copy as styled text

Ben Holland 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 2

The BEST feature of BBEdit and SubEthaEdit is the ability to copy as styled text. I use Evernote for my note-taking in class, and to be able to share styled text is SO valuable to me. I LOVE Textastic and want to use it for absolutely everything, but it is lacking this absolutely essential feature. If it had this, I would never use another text editor again.


This is useful for pasting code into a Word or PowerPoint presentation. Also VERY helpful for pasting code snippets into notes.

Answer

The next update will have the commands "Copy as Styled Text" and "Copy as Styled HTML".

Auto indent tags on return

handycam 10 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 7 years ago 3
See attached, textmate 2 vs textastic 3.  Most other editors behaves as TM2 does as well.

1. create UL tag, return
2 .cursor is before the closing tag, on the last line
3. move it and create space for LI tag, create LI tag
4.  repeat step 2
etc.

As you can see in TM example, hitting return inside the tag correctly create a new line and the cursor is at the proper indent level for the next enclosed tag or text.

Emacs Like Editing

I found ^A and ^E work but ^K does not. Any reason not to include the full set of emacs key bindings that the standard Mac editors, like TextEdit, include?

How to invoke code completion in Fortran?

Li Dong 11 years ago updated 11 years ago 3

How can I accomplish code completion task in Fortran? By entering what keys? I see nowhere is an instruction, and the manual is too brief!


Despite some frustration, Textastic looks very nice! I have faith on it, keep going! : )

tab size vs indent size?

Brandon Fosdick 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 3

I'm looking for a simple text editor that knows the difference between tab size and indent size and, ideally, can prefer tabs over spaces. ST2/3 and TextMate2 don't seem to be up to the task. Can Textastic do what I want?

Wrap line where it started

LeFrank 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 1

Would it be possible to have an option to wrap lines where they started, like an outliner basically.

I know about the 'indent wrapped lines' option, it's basically what I'm looking for, but  without the additional indent part.

Many thanks for considering it.

ABC Music Notation

Lawrence 2 months ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 2 months ago 5

I have just started with Textastic and have a question about importing sublime syntax highlighting.

The majority oof my use of Textastic is in editing ABC notation music files. Syntax highlighting would be a very big benefit for me. I would like to import this from:

https://github.com/lewdlime/Sfortzando/blob/master/Syntaxes/ABC%20Notation.sublime-syntax

I have downloaded the file, placed it in ~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Textastic and restarted Textastic but it doesn't work.

Is this type of file supported in Textastic?

If not, are there any other suggestions as to how I might implement this?
