support for javascript es2021
I would be really really useful to have the keywords updated, and absolutely lovely to have it go several symbols deep.
e.g. if I type document.get
I am given getElementById(), which is great. But, if I type:
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = c.get
it would be extremely useful to have it give me the suggestion for:
getContext('2d');
Now, that would just be a simple keyword update, and it would be extremely helpful to me to have all the updated keywords for get___ and object types such as Uint32Array
Not having these is a complete pain.
If you have a file with keywords, that you could send me, to allow me to do a custom update, I would do it, to save myself tons of time while coding.
Otherwise, if there is already a package or file with updated definitions that exists already, and you can provide instructions to update textastic so I could use it on my IPAD, it would be extremely helpful and appreciated.
"Unable to extract public key" when using an SSH key with a passphrase
When trying to use an ed25519 SSH key with a passphrase, I get the following error:
```
ERROR: Public key authentication failed: Unable to extract public key from private key fil
e: Wrong passphrase or invalid/unrecognized private key file format
```
I found https://feedback.textasticapp.com/communities/1/topics/2571-error-reading-ssh-private-key, but a key with the newer format but without a passphrase worked fine.
Any suggestions?
Why is it so hard to console.log JS projects?
I bought the Textastic app for IPad years ago. Actually, I don't use it because of the fact, that I have to do at least 3 touches to get to the output of the console.log:
1. I'm in a JS file and want to console.log something
2. I need to change the focus of the editor to a HTML file embedding the JS file to do so
3. I have to touch the glasses icon on the right top to get to a browser view
4. I have to touch the console icon on the left top to finally see the output.
Not only that this is so tedious, but also unintuitive since you always jump from one area to another one of the app during the whole process. It feels like I have to get me through the whole process just like I never did it before, because my eyes always need to scan, where exactly I have to land my finger touches on the screen..just as if I'm doing it the first time..again and again.
I really like the overall concept of the app, but developing / debugging JS projects is due to this issue a bit pita for me. Why is this so complicated to get the console at hands in Textastic?
Please, consider to make the developing / debugging process more convenient for JS devs by move the console view to a place in the editor just one click away. This would make Textastic the best code editor choice on iOS..at least for me :)
Textastic closes the file when it's updated on server
I started using Textastic and I am loving it.
I have a problem though:
When I open a file from my pcloud server, in my computer and in my iPad (using Textastic in iPad), the text will be the same at both sides.
When I modify the text in iPad side, the computer editor updates the file's text without any problem.
When I modify the text on computer side, when the Textastic try to update the text on iPad, it closes it (closes the text).
Is there any configuration to enable such automatic update?
Thanks
tailscale ssh connection not working,
so i want to attach to my server running tailscale, I have tailscale vpn running on the ipad and on the ubuntu server. i can do this from a terminal app. just by giving the ip address and the user. It comes back on the terminal app to tell me that i need to authenticate using an httplink. With textastic i just get the following error message in the terminal window.
ERROR: Failure requesting shell:
I realise this is quite specific so hoping its something you have hit before with vpn or if there is something else i can try?
Cursor position does not visibly update with option-delete (whole word delete) key combination
I’m using:
- Textastic 9.9
- iPad Pro 12.9 (4th generation)
- iPadOS 16.2
- Apple bluetooth keyboard
The option-delete key combinatian deletes the word to the left of the cursor, and each additional press deletes an additional word, as expected. However, the cursor position does not visibly update. This behaviour is new since I updated Textastic from the previous version (9.8?) to 9.9 this week.
It’s as if the real cursor becomes invisible when option-delete is first pressed, leaving behind a ghost cursor. The invisible real cursor moves correctly, while the ghost cursor does not move. The real cursor becomes visible in its correct position, and the ghost cursor disappears, as soon as I type something or use an arrow key to move the cursor.
The arrow keys don’t always cause the real cursor to reappear. For example, if the cursor is at the end of the file when I press option-delete, then pressing the right-arrow key will have no effect, probably because in that case the right-arrow key would not have moved the cursor anyway.
Preview Scaling Issue
One issue I’ve always experienced in Textastic is that the standard Preview option doesn’t scale the browser window’s height properly.
Here is an example:
In Preview:
(You can see the bottom is cut off and requires scrolling)
Using Preview in Safari, this issue does not appear.
(You can see the bottom height is properly scaled)
PageUp & PageDown
When working on code, it's really frustrating that all combos of up/down arrows with <Fn> <Shift> <Ctrl> <Option> <Command> either move one line, or goes to top/end of document, making scrolling a rather disappointing experience.
Even if it due to iOS requires an odd key sequence, that would be minor, since it would be easy enough to memorize, convenient scrolling is an essential feature when dealing with documents longer than 30 lines.
Virtual Cmd key for iPad Standard Keyboard
This is the first time I use the on-screen keyboard, what I really miss is a quick way to do cut-paste. Some terminal apps like Blink have a virtual Alt key, would it be possible to in a similar fashion have an Cmd key, to speed up cut paste? Doing it by fiddling on the screen iOS style is far from practical if you do code refactoring etc
