Option to disable horizontal slide to control cursor
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?
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
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
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.
iOS 13 - Bluetooth mouse - Scroll wheel management
Dear Alexander,
With iOS 13, we can now use a bluetooth mouse with Textastic, even on iPhone :-), which is really awesome.
I believe it would be even better if the scroll wheel was customizable in Textastic:
- Number of lines to scroll per tick
- Direction of scrolling: up or down
Right now, the screen is scrolling only line by line (which is a bit slow) and in an unintuitive direction, at least for me: scrolling the wheel up makes the screen go down, I would have expected the opposite.
Adding some options in the configuration area seems to be the way to go :-).
Thanks a lot for your help!
Kind regards,
Maurice

Validate xml file against custom xsd schema file
I added my vote for w3c validator support at http://feedback.textasticapp.com/topic/57678-w3c-validator-support/. But I also want to be able to validate xml files against custom xsd schema files that I create. I do this currently with XML Notepad 2007 for Windows (highly recommended). But I would love to be have similar functionality on my iPad.
iCloud file locations
The file location panel in Textastic shows:
Local Files
iCloud
External files and folders
Open file or folder
…
The iCloud entry points to a “Textastic” folder in the “Files” app.
Is it possible to change this location? I would like to use a folder called “DEV”.
Regards,
Peter
Indentation marks for soft tabs
I like that when you use tabs, you can see arrows to align your code. Is it possible to add a marker, different than the tab marker, but something to indicate indentation when using soft tabs?
Is there a way to tie autocomplete, capitalisation, and so on to file kind?
For Wiki.js, I’d like to use Textastic to replace full-featured Markdown editors for iOS. The main reason is that it is the only editor on iOS that I know of that works directly with Working Copy Git folders. For code editing, auto completion and such features would be a nightmare, but for Markdown, they would be a benefit. Hence the question - does this capability yet exist?
