Stop auto-adding period when double-spacing
Aside from using Textastic for coding, I like to use it for keeping .txt files for simple notes. I’ve noticed that whenever I (on purpose) enter two or more spaces (e.g. to create a simple column table), a period is auto-added in the the first position of two spaces. This is annoying... seems more appropriate to a word processor than a code/text editor... and I wish there was a setting/preference to allow me to enable/disable this action.
Editing files in iCloud drive
Have I missed it, or is there no way to edit files on iCloud Drive (except in the Textastic folder)? so much on Macs is now stored/mirrored in iCloud it would be very helpful to edit them in place.
Move cursor/viewport with external keyboard
It would be good if Textastic supported moving the text viewport up and down via the external keyboard, in effect moving the line with the cursor up and down the screen. I feel it's pretty common to do with when working with text, and it's very annoying to not be able to do it.
Recents or Favorites in File Transfer view
The recent files list is great, and I use it all the time. It would also be great if there was a similar feature—recents or favorites—in the File Transfer view, for quickly going to oftenused local & remote folders.
Please make deleting files safer
Hi, just got the app and I'm loving it so far. However, I'm a little concerned how easy it is to delete files. It would be nice if there were a confirmation box or a trash folder in case of accidental deletion
Upgrade v5 to v6
App offers an upgrade from v5 to v6 now. But no "upgrade" price, it is the full price for the app again. No upgrade price policy for your devoted users
No Error reporting? Firebug lite does not catch JS errors?
This app needs more robust, built-in error reporting beyond linking in an external library that is, itself, powered by Javascript and so presumably dies as soon as an actual JS error is thrown. What's the point of that? Coffeescript has a pretty robust error logger, and CodePad has a mediocre one, but at least they'll catch the errors in the following, whereas Textastic with Firebug Lite just does nothing at all. You're in good (bad) company: Koder and Kodiac both suffer from the same disease. See the error-ridden code below:
console.log("log");
alert("hey");
fffx(); // undefined function
ggg.h() test $< // method on undefined function and then illegal tokens
Not to appear completely negative,the Navigator is epic, and your options for file interchange are best in class.
Just really surprised that you can't really use this app for JS development, since there's no way to report JavaScript errors. Am I mistaken?
Textastic 6.3 adds a new JavaScript console that can show errors in your JavaScript code and allows you to log custom messages using the JavaScript Console object (for example by calling the console.log() method).
Different file icons
I have a suggestion: Make files written in different languages have different file icons! The current icon is perfect for HTML/XML/etc, but not for languages like Java.
Cyrillic (DOS) text encoding
Encoding choice in the File option don't work correct. Wrong display of text in Cyrillic (DOS) encoding detected)
