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

ROP 5 years ago in General updated 5 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 5 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 5 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 6 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).

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.

Option to disable horizontal slide to control cursor

Hermeson 6 years ago in General 0

Please add an option to disable this gesture, I bought the app today and several times I tried to horizontally slide my code (I don't use word warp) and accidentally moved the cursor with this gesture. I have to wait a few milliseconds before sliding my finger to avoid this, not good.

How does iCloud syncing work?

StayHungryStayFoolish 6 years ago in General updated 6 years ago 4

Hi Everyone, I’m new to Textastic. I love this so far. Everything just works flawlessly. Simple but powerful! And I just started using it to work on my first personal website. 


I appreciate the ability of iCould syncing since I have been purchasing some storage on iCloud Drive. But I want to clarify how does the syncing actually work. Let’s say I have opened up and working my HTML file on Textastic inside the iCloud folder. 


1. Does it create a temp copy that stays in my local file system so I could still work on it even if I loss the internet connection?

2. Is there any indicator or any way that I could know if it’s synced or not?

3. Once the internet connection is back on, does it automatically sync? Or if there is a way that I could handle this manually?  (In case I work on it offline but I don’t actually want to sync it)

Summarize my questions a little bit, I’m basically looking for a way to manage files in the way like Git does. So I could “pull” files from my iCould Drive, work on it offline. Then “Push” it to the iCould Drive whenever I want it to.

Thank you so much for reading this. And appreciate any help and advice.

Import packages or have a package manager

Brendon Zimmer 6 years ago in General 0

I would appreciate to have a place to import packages, especially .jar packages to allow me to code Java with other pre built classes. Thanks

iOS13 external folders inaccessible

Ivan Korystin 6 years ago in General updated by raf | raf studio 2 years ago 4

After updating the OS on my iPad, I can no longer access external folders in Textastic.

Previously, I used TIG as a GIT client, Google Drive, and Documents by Readdle. All three are now inaccessible. Google Drive and Documents are listed, but unavailable, TIG disappeared from the list completely.
