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.

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)

Hey there,

When i m trying to Start the App it stays in a weird black screen. When going to the List of all open Applications, it does show the Content After a while, but when i Go back it will be black.

The model I am using is an iPad Pro 2021 11“

Hope i can geht help here. I habe also anders pictures.

Can I use the "Open in..." function to directly open a file for editing from inside another application? In this instance I am interested in browsing my nextcloud instance on my phone/ipad and opening .md .txt .html .whatever files directly in a text editor instead of having to first switch apps and then drill down from inside the editor.

Will this work?

I want to use Google drive as a local source but it’s unavailable. Is there a way round this ?

I use Textastic to draft Batari Basic files.  Batari Basic is a coding language written as a high level language that converts to assembly language and finally converts to binary to be run on an Atari 2600.  Is there a way to customize Textastic with a word list of Batari Basic commands?  I've spend about 2 weeks trying to understand the customization instructions for Textastic with Sublime Text 3, .tmbundle packages, and .tmTheme files, but i just don't get it.  Is there a better step-by-step tutorial you know of that can help me?

Thank you!

I have a local Textastic folder, which shows the special icons. I have a folder “racket.tmbundle” in that folder, but it appears to be ignored by Textastic. The bundle is from https://github.com/nitaigao/racket-tmbundle, which I assume is Textastic 1, as it is old and makes no mention of Textastic 2. I have also successfully loaded it into the macOS version of Textastic, so the I only have an issue with the iPad version and the bundle. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

It would be great to be able to use the mouse on the iPad Pro to reorder the tabs. I usually have about four + files open and usually I have main files in tab 1 & 2. To get them in the order that I am used to working on them each day I close all of the files and re-open them. It would be nice to just drag and drop the tabs in the order that I like to use them.
