Switch between files using external keyboard

Cuberonix 7 years ago in iPad 0

I feel like this is a big feature that’s missing, especially when going back and forth between an HTML and CSS file. It feels very slow reaching up from the keyboard to constantly tap between them.


Something like: 

Option + Up/Down = navigate between files within the current folder or recent files.

Slow editing of tidied code: have you heard from Apple yet?

Albo P. Fossa 7 years ago in iPad 0

Howdy, Alexander; I've posted this to you as a problem report before, and your response was that it was an Apple problem, and not the app's. I'm just here to ask whether you've heard from Apple.


The problem being, it's about impossible to edit tidied code. I have, for example, several files whose first records are up to 1200+ characters. While they are fully visible in Textastic, it is painful even to place the cursor accurately in the record, and agonizing to use the cursor-movement wheel. (You were able to reproduce the problem with example code I sent.)


For now, I've reverted to BBEdit on my MBP.

Files stored in iCloud lose remote link when restored

Tony Meyer 7 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 7 years ago 1

When a file that's stored in iCloud gets moved out of local storage (automatically by the OS I assume), as indicated by the dotted cloud symbol, and then automatically restored (again by the OS I assume) when it is used, it loses the remote link information.


For example, I have a folder of files that is sourced from a SSH connection, stored in iCloud. All works fine, until iOS decides to clear space by removing some of these. They get restored automatically, so that's fine, but once that's done I can no longer upload/download because the link is gone.

Custom shortcut keys

Ryan Bailey 7 years ago in iPad 0

I've seen other requests like "cmd + g" for 'Go To Line', and similar things. To me, that's wrong, and it should be "cmd + L" similar to most other IDEs. However, it would be nice if there were a shortcut/hot key area in settings where we could add and customize these at will. Some commonly used ones.


"Cmd + L" -> Go to Line Number

"Cmd + Shift + O" -> Quick open file name

"Cmd + F" -> Find

"Cmd + R" -> Replace (which could be reconfigured to Build/Run, for instance)

"Cmd + W" -> Close open file/tab


These are just some examples, but I think this could end up being a really powerful feature for users.

Not sure you can support the glorious ligatures, but it's still great without them: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Using $TM_FILENAME in textastic templates?

Ol Sen 10 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 1
When creating templates sometimes it would be very helpful when the filename in creating process made by a template is availible inside the snippet. The moment looks like the $TM_FILENAME syntax is not visible while creating a file from textastic templates. In my case this is important when using textastic to code c++ where filenames should fit to classnames and headerfiles. Or did i miss how to use right?

Offer a "refresh" button in the preview

fjpoblam 11 years ago in iPad updated 10 years ago 8

Thanks for a great app. It's worth noting, I'm no longer maintaining my websites via laptop, but rather *just* on my iPad, thanks to this app! (I just get out my laptop to download updates and keep copies in sync.)

I've read all the suggestions here, and think I'm not posting duplicates. I'll post three. This is one.


This one, I know, has been suggested before, and perhaps reflects a bug. I have found that, occasionally, the app doesn't display the selected file, but rather, a linked file. For example, if the file previously displayed was "x.html" and if "x.html" had a link to "y.html", and if, during preview, a link to "y.html" was taken, the next time a preview is done, "y.html" is displayed instead of "x.html", and there is no manner in which to restore the display to "x.html".

Configurable buttons for additional keys

Ramon Hackbarth 12 years ago in iPad 0

Using both hands it's especially as a web developer with small hands hard to reach some important keys. It's easy for me to reach the first three buttons on every side, but the buttons I mainly use are in the middle of the keyboard :( It's hard to make such a keyboard fit for everyone, so it's maybe a better solution to make a custom set possible.


At first it would be great to have a possibility to change the order of the buttons, but really nice would be, if it's also possible to have 100% customizable buttons.
