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.

Hello,

Built int support for DotNET .master files (same as aspx) would be great, as well as .scss and .sass files.  I currently have downloaded some 3rd party textmate bundles to do this, but would be great to have in-built support.

cheers,

James

As a developer and daily user of Textastic, providing multiple browser preview options would be nice. Icon would show a list of browsers, etc.

I literally use Textastic every day for a huge amount of work (iPad Pro). It is, by far, the best coding tool I’ve used.

When coding, however, one of the most fundamental things is being able to undo a lot of test work. I don’t know what the current undo level is but it’s not anywhere close enough. I would, at least,  provide an option to increase the step number. To 50, 100, 500… whatever the memory will allow.

Thanks.

Wonderful software! I am having fun leaning to use my ipad as an alternative to my macpro for some computing.

Question: How to implement two Sublime Text 3 packages, "SendCode" and "SublimeREPL"

Purpose: (of which there may already be a shortcut for) would be to highlight a block of text in an editor (usually R or Python), then use some shortcut (Cmd + E) to send code to the currently open terminal. Is this already possible? If not, would there be a way to use specifically the SendCode package for Sublime Text 3 in Textastic? I have already copied the two SendCode and SublimeREPL directories to my #Textastic directory, but have run Reload Customizations, but to no avail. I can get theme files to work properly, but am not able to correctly implement Sublime packages. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Please add your cursor navigation wheel (text selection not required), to the SSH Terminal, or add better arrow keys.  Would make using a SSH terminal editor much easier, especially if you aren’t using an external keyboard.

How to open the same file in two different views?

I have a long-ish file that I’d like to edit simultaneously in two different editors. Each editor would be looking at different parts of the file.

Every time I “open in new window” of the file, the current editor closes and being replaced by a new one.

I often need to cut very large pieces of code, sometimes hundreds of lines in length. I know Textastic already has some options for selecting text areas... such as using a two-finger tap to use the dial and minimiIng the text size to view more.....

However, selecting huge code chunks is still not easy..

I suggest adding The following option to the dial...

A Start Arrow (pointing right) to begin selection at the current cursor position

..user then scrolls to new location....

User presses End Arrow (pointing left) to end selection....

Is then prompted to copy, cut etc...

here’s a rough mockup...

hello,

I would love to have an option to hide these components as it get in the way and wasting my screen real estate:

- system status bar

- system home bar (ios 13)

- textastic toolbar

Also a shortcut to open the file panel and focus to the search field would be very useful. I don’t think there’s a way to do it currently.
