Hi! maybe i missed this one, but is it possible to create a new file on dropbox or do you have to create the flie externally and then open it in dropbox?

Coders should be able to run and test their javascript files so they can swiftly find bugs and debug the code.

I would love to have an easy way to save files from the internet into the editor. Perhaps when making a new file in textastic, have a `loaded from url` field, which downloads the content from the web before opening the new file.

I would use this feature most with cdnjs, and it would be useful for github also.

I've purchased Textastic for all my Apple devices—iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Mini, and MacBook Pro. It'd certainly be nice, on the go, to be able to use the advantage of iCloud to update my many files "in unison" without having to FTP-download updates to locally-stored files! I'd move all those local files to iCloud. However, currently, I see Move, but I see no way to specify iCloud as the target. Add it!

Hello,
I was searching how to add JSHint support to Textastic, and wondered if those TextMate bundles are/may/will be supported in Textastic:(from http://www.jshint.com/install/):
- https://github.com/bodnaristvan/JSHint.tmbundle
- https://github.com/fgnass/jshint.tmbundle
- http://rondevera.github.com/jslintmate/
- https://github.com/natesilva/jshint-external.tmbun...
Thanks for your insight!
Kind regards,
MZ

The C and assembly Languages work great, but it would be nice to have support for libraries from Microcontrollers. I've never seen that in the AppStore so you'll be the first one to have this feature.

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering what is the best way to load J Query onto websites I am working on in Textastic. I have heard that a specific file is needed to compensate for lack of mouse when coding on an iPad or iPhone. Otherwise I think that the app is brilliant.

Thanks,

Mark

This is mainly an issue with large files.

When device rotation occurs, the page position changes due to many lines becoming wrapped (or unwrapped). This in itself isn't a horrible problem, but what tends to happen is this: 

I am at line 5500, the file is 6200 lines. 

I rotate to portrait. It pegs me at the bottom of the file. This clamps the y-offset.

Now I rotate back to portrait in hopes of returning to line 5500. I am dropped off around line 4000.

This is... not... ideal. 

One great way to fix BOTH issues is to check the line# and return me to that position upon device rotation. 

Note also that having a cursor present will prevent this issue (which is probably why this has not been reported yet). However having a cursor makes over 1/3 of the screen consumed by a keyboard so I *ensure* the keyboard is put away when I use Textastic to read code (as it's hardly practical to do actual coding), but it causes this issue every time (when i am near the bottom of a file).

So since I am JB'd i would use tweaks that let me force specific apps to be portrait-locked, but it's just not ideal because sometimes I do need to go landscape when the line wrapping gets to be overwhelming.
