Flag if uploaded file would overwrite a newer file

Nigel 3 years ago in iPad • updated by Jon Diercks 2 years ago • 2

I work on two systems, iPad and Mac. Sometimes I have files on the iPad edited and uploaded and the same file, unedited, on Textwrangler, Mac. I occasionally forget to check files and overwrite the newer file on the server. Dohhhh.

An organiser for saving regex snippets.

Great product and having regex is indispensible. Would be even more brill if had an organiser to save regex snippets for re use.

Margin settings

Gary Bloom 6 years ago in iPad • 0

Margin settings would make Textastic for IPad into an excellent general purpose editor. Currently, the text lines are too long for ease of editing an essay. My hack is to set Inconsolita for 30 pt, and zoom in to get margins and readable  text. Also, margins leave space to leave the navigation wheel up.

Update for iPad Pro Resolution

Kyle Bareis 3 years ago in iPad • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 3 years ago • 2

I bought Textastic but all of the fonts look just slightly blurry and bit larger than they need to be. It seems as if the app has not been updated for the iPad Pro yet. Could you please so I can take advantage of the size of the screen

Bugs about opening file

SailFlorve 4 months ago in iPad • updated 4 months ago • 2

Hello! When I select "open" in Textastic, there's no "select" on the top right, until I installed Working Copy(See attachments). So if not, I cannot choose folders in other apps. But I have Documents by readdle and OneDrive. Why do not show "select" when not installing Working Copy? Is it a bug or pretend to?

fuzzy search keyboard shortcut

Keyboard shortcut to quickly search for files like in Xcode (Cmd+shift+O) or VSCode (Cmd+P) would be awesome.

ESCape key in SSH terminal with external keyboard (Apple Keyboard)

sylvoie 6 months ago in iPad • updated by Andrei 5 months ago • 3

First, I want to thank you for version 7 of Textastic. It’s the best editor on iPad, and I like it.


I use Textastic’s SSH terminal that is very good. My only concern is the ESC key with an external keyboard. Sometimes, I need to use VI to edit a file. I don’t use the additional keys bar, this bar take too much space on screen. I don’t have an ESC key on my external keyboard.

I used an other SSH terminal before version 7. I was using a very cool fonctionnality where to ESCape in VI, you only have to touch the screen two times with one finger. Is-it possible to add something like that in SSH terminal to ESC?


Thank’s
