Built-in Javascript tmLanguage
Dear Alexander,
I really need the built-in "JavaScript.tmLanguage" you are using, in order to know the exact scopes names (to use them in my custom tmTheme) and be able to tweak it a bit if needed.
Would it be possible to share it?
Right now I am using the "JavaScriptNext.tmLanguage" but it is quite old and full of little bugs, whereas your built-in tmLanguage seems to be much more stable and recent.
Thanks a lot and keep improving Textastic, it is a pleasure to use it every day.
Kind regards,
Maurice
To show the scope at the cursor location, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-P (this can be changed in Textastic's settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Code Editor -> Show Scope).
Here is the sublime syntax file used by Textastic:
Preview Port
Does the localhost server for the html preview in Safari always use the same port? This is required by the same origin policy if a website stores data in local storage, indexeddb, cache storage, etc. and wants to retrieve it later. I noticed that Working Copy uses a different port with each preview, making testing javascript single page apps that utilize data storage impossible and was wondering if Textastic had a way to always use the same port when previewing html/js.
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
Mark and delete a range of lines
Need to mark a range in hugh text files to delete it. Should something like in vi: "<start>,<end>d". Maybe more comfortable ;
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
