Wakatime support

It would be great to have support for https://wakatime.com in Textastic. I did not find it being supported yet, so maybe it‘s something worth considering?

Importing images from non Photos app

Alex Blok 3 years ago in General updated 3 years ago 6

Please can you introduce a way to import images from other sources, such as Google Drive or the iPad's own file system. If I save an image out from (say) Photoshop at reduced quality to reduce the file size, there is no way to import it into Textastic. Correct me if I am wrong!

Search & Replace preview

clozach 3 years ago in General 0

Hi. I really like what you’ve done in Search showing matches in their full context, complete with yellow highlights. In fact, it’s the best design I think I’ve ever seen in terms of clarity and ease of use. The only thing missing is a feature I first encountered in Google Sheets whereby a small preview of a cell’s pending value appears whenever the formula you’re editing reaches a calculable state: a live preview of the result.

In keeping with your current design, the way I’d like to see this is by doubling the cells in the results view such that each match snapshot is followed by a snapshot showing what that window of text will look like after the replacement has been made. This would completely eliminate the frustrating cycle of Attempt Regex > Discover Mistake > Undo > Attempt Modified Regex that happens when I forget whether Textastic uses /1 or $1 for capture groups. It happens when I get my capture groups mixed up. And it happens during replacements when I’ve made a capitalization error.


Honestly, what you have is already so close to perfect, it would be a shame not to reach out and actually reach perfection. 🌞

Allow access to the iOS system fonts for use in code editor

ROP 3 years ago in General updated 3 years ago 6

There are numerous apps that can access the iOS system fonts. These include—for example—RSS readers to customize the display of articles to your own taste, or graphic apps to use the fonts for layouts. If we can already add our own themes, it would be really desirable if the font selection could be customized as well. 

Textastic only offers a very small selection of fonts. There are so many other fantastic fonts for programming. I can easily install these with iOS and use them in all apps that access the system fonts of iOS. I think it should be no problem to make this possible for Textastic as well. This would be very desirable and a long-cherished wish of mine (as a typographer). 

We sit in front of the screens for hours to code. So the working environment should be more customizable.

markdown preview open at cursor position in editor

Diogenus 4 years ago in General 0

Please let the Markdown preview open up at the cursor’s currrent position in document editor, instead of always opening the Markdown preview at the start of the document (which causes a lot of scrolling when editing large documents and quickly switching between editing and previewing).

Easier to use when ui theme appearance is system. Maybe also possible for ftp connections.

Larger theme catalog where users can contribute syntax themes

Josh Corbett 4 years ago in General 0

I think it would be a terrific idea if there was a large theme catalog that users can search/browse and contribute to. This would be a great way for smarter people than I, to port over popular themes such as: Material, One Dark, etc.

I feel like this is an essential extension that needs to happen to this app, to make it more flexible and adaptable to meet the user’s standard workspace.

Ignoring files and folders when using find

Alex Pardoe 4 years ago in General 0

I really love the quick find feature in the file navigator but when finding files in a project checked out with Working Copy it’ll often fill up with results in the “.git” directory - it would be great to be able to ignore the contents of this folder at least but a customisable list of ignores would be even better (maybe on a global and a project level too).

Tabs reopen endlessly after being closed

jul 4 years ago in General updated 4 years ago 1

Hello,

for a few days, I have this problem with Version 4.0.1 (35) :

I close all tabs and quit Textastic.

When I restart it, all tabs are open again, even after reboot.
