Add support for file versioning
Thank you for an excellent editor.
Would it be possible to add file versioning? For one thing, this would allow a user to easily revert to the last explicitly saved version.
Sublime theme import
Hello! I'm excited to use Textastic on my iPhone 13.
I'm trying to import the gruvbox Sublime theme (https://github.com/Briles/gruvbox — specifically the "Dark Hard" color scheme), but nothing I've tried has made it appear in the Code Editor customization list, and I've tried many things, including unzipping the .zip into #Textastic, moving various pieces of said folder into and out of a "Templates" folder, renaming them with the folder and/or files with ".tmTheme" and ".tmbundle" extensions, etc…
The Textastic manual page on adding themes apparently isn't detailed enough for a newbie like me. Please, what exactly do I need to do to make this work?
Thank you!
TypeScript files no longer open
As of update 10.3, TypeScript (*.ts, which includes *d.ts) files no longer open on tap in Textastic.
1. Open Textastic app.
2. From home page (file explorer), navigate to a folder containing a TypeScript file, e.g. "Foo.ts".
3. Tap file "Foo.ts" to open.
Expected behavior: File opens for editing
Actual Behavior: File does not open. User remains in the file explorer folder view from which they tapped the file. The following error message is shown in an iOS alert modal dialog: Title: "Preview is not available for this file", Body: "Please make sure that the file has a valid file extension." Screenshot attached!
N.B. I am not surprised at the iOS modal dialog itself, because it is a well-known pain point that iOS and in fact macOS hostilely 😉 consider .ts to be some outdated MPEG transport stream file, rather than the ubiquitous TypeScript file (as someone with insider knowledge, Apple *hates* the idea of programming languages other than their own existing, unless they're hopelessly untyped (i.e. dumb, just how Apple would like their user base to stay to remain docile consumers) languages such as Python and JavaScript, but I digress). However, I can attest that this is new behavior in Textastic that began immediately after I intentionally installed the 10.3 update the morning it was released. I would assume the delta is not from the iOS 17.5.1 update since I also intentionally installed *that* the morning it was released and I think it was at least a few days ago.
Files from OneDrive
Hi!
So, i was considering buying this app but i need to know if i am going to be able to open files from OneDrive or Google Drive. If the "files browser" show something similar to the screenshot below. Thank you!
Add support for VoiceOver
The current release barely works with VoiceOver. If you slide your finger over the text in an open document, VoiceOver will read what is under your finger but as soon as you lift your finger, the focus moves somewhere else outside the document. I have yet to find a simple plain text editor that works well with VoiceOver on iPhone.
When scrolling to the right, fix the gutter on the screen
I would love to be able to always see the line numbers
Support for downloading and viewing files beginning with a dot
Textastic doesn't view files that begin with a dot.
Also if I download 2 files with the same name that both start with a dot, upon attemtping to view (or edit) the second file, it goes back to trying to edit the first file.
HTML & CSS Files Not Linking
Hi
I’m unable to get these files to link in the app, although I’m not having the same issue in VS Code on my Mac & PC. Any ideas much appreciated.
Sorry about the pic, for some reason I’m unable to paste the code from the app into this form.
