Code folding (matching brackets) - expecting that since 2016 🙃
Hi there, I have been around now for almost 10 years, waiting for code folding (matching brackets) since the beginning.
Is there still active development going on here? Any idea when you plan to implement this coders must have?
Looking forward to your feedback!
Replace With Backslashes Misbehaving
If your file contains \\\`
and you try to replace \\\` with \`, it only selects \\` instead of \\\` for replacement.
Thanks for all you do!
Cannot paste
I use Textastic primarily as a code repository. If I update code elsewhere and have a preexisting version in Texttastic, I cannot paste that update over the earlier version All I see is the Copy option.Here’s a screen shot:
Any suggestions?
Reconnect external storage provider after connection lost
I have my NAS drive mapped on iPad as external storage (by local IP in files). It works fine when at home WiFi. When outside i need to open VPN first and connection is maintained. However when the app is opened without VPN after some time connection to resource is lost and the only option is to remove it, even when back to home WiFi or VPN is activated. I would see it useful to have reconnect/restore connection option.
WebDAV won't maintain simultaneous connection to parent + child sites/subdomains
Hello! I'd appreciate some guidance as I've run into an unexpected annoyance with webDAV in Textastic on iOS. I use it on a 2nd gen iPad Pro, just updated to iOS 18.3.2, Textastic version 10.5.4
I have 3 sites all hosted through Neocities: my primary/parent site and 2 new additional child sites. I have a custom domain through Namecheap and 2 subdomains created for that domain. My primary site is linked to the custom domain, and each child site is linked to its respective subdomain:
- parent.neocities.org = mydomain.com
- sub1.neocities.org = 1.mydomain.com
- sub2.neocities.org = 2.mydomain.com
Going off Neocities' own webDAV instructions I should be able to set up webDAV connections to any child sites by using their site name as the username + my existing account password. To be fair, I CAN connect to all 3 via webDAV in Textastic!....I just can't switch between them.
Upon opening Textastic, whichever webDAV connection I load/utilize first is then the ONLY webDAV connection I can see/access unless I fully restart the app.
For example, I load the app, make some changes & successfully upload to sub1. If I then make edits to a file for sub2, trying to upload/download or view will still only show me the files & folders for sub1. I have to fully restart Textastic THEN select sub2 first, rinse & repeat any time I want to upload/download from a different connection.
I'm not a web developer or super knowledgeable in this area in general so it's entirely possible it's just user error with how I entered the credentials, or maybe this is an existing limitation/behavior with webDAV I just can't find documentation on :') I tried searching for the same/similar issues for Textastic but didn't see anything, and looked back through all the webDAV sections in the Textastic documentation and, as far as I can tell, I've set things up correctly.
Any assistance or feedback would be HUGELY appreciated! I'm happy to provide more info, screenshots, etc as well if this is actually a bug or something I might've set up wrong. As it is, I CAN still manage each site through Textastic, but being unable to seamlessly push updates between them is a huge headache since I'm frequently jumping between sites while editing since it's related/connected content.
Overall Textastic has been a monumental lifesaver since I don't have reliable computer access and have no choice but to manage my site from my iPad (& sometimes my phone lol), so figuring out this unexpected annoyance would be amazing! 🙏🏻
Custom *.as extension not recognised
Im trying to add Angelscript language file extension highlighting. After adding custom folder to #Textestic from Sublime, i’ve reopen app, reload customisations but no luck. All *.as files still grey colored and after tap on it, textastic show that its "AppleSingle archive"
So every time i must tap -> open as plaintext -> change syntax definition
HTML Form input type attribute autofocus does not work in Preview
But if I choose your option to preview in Safari, it works correctly.
I can’t post the code here because it’s an HTML form code example in the HTML Tutorial on W3Schools.com
But here’s a link to the code example, under Try it Yourself>>
Curiously, their Radio Button example included extra characters on each side of the radio buttons, so I added the missing <meta charset=“UTF-8”> tag and that “fixed” it.
The first thing I tried with this Preview issue, was add the <meta charset=“UTF-8 lang=EN-US” and it made no difference.
I added the missing <head> and <title> tags, too, but still the input type autofocus attribute did not work in Preview.
A minor surprise, I’ll call this finding, but certainly not a show stopper. 🤔 😎
Cannot find file
Hello,
I have connected to a samba server file where my live files are that host my Wiki. I have opened the files with Textastic and the files keep displaying and then disappearing and then when editing files it comes up saying that it doesn’t exist and then 3 seconds later it will show. It’s like it is refreshing every 5 seconds, loosing connection. I hoped it saved and lost all progress on the page.
Apple Intelligence for Textastic would be Fantastic!
Hi Alexander,
Can we have Apple Intelligence for us folks who use Textastic as a documentation tool. I use .txt files extensively and think it would be great to be able to use those AI tools.
Best,
Tom
