Let users delete the Getting Started file

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago updated 14 years ago 0
Currently, the Getting Started document is alway re-created at application launch.

Textastic also opens the document, when there are no other files in the files panel.

It should be possible to disable this behaviour and to delete the GettingStarted.textastic file.
Version 1.1
Answer
This is now possible in 1.1.

You can re-enable the GettingStarted file in settings.

Mount remote directory over ssh

Okev 13 years ago updated by CuriousTommy 4 years ago 4
Would be useful for development where you need to use a remote server.
Instead of checking files in/out over SFTP, I'd like to suggest mounting a remote folder locally.
What this means is that I can access any random file within the directory and when the file is saved, it's automatically pushed to the remote server without any other operations

This means that
- I can run it from my own flavour of web server - PHP, etc
- I can use GIT or SVN

Bonus points for allowing any web page open in the web preview window and an SSH shell :)

This may go against the philosophy of "Build everything into the one app", so I'd like to point that out upfront. I still think that the remote workflow support would be extremely useful.
Answer

Actually, this is already possible using the app Secure ShellFish which allows you to access SSH/SFTP servers as folders in the Files app. You can add those folders as external folders to Textastic and open and edit the files as if they were local.

Using TAB key on selected lines of codes…

iSpikeyBoy 14 years ago 0
It'd be nice if you'd add a feature where you can add tab to a selected lines of code without having to move your cursor to the beginning of a line and push TAB on the virtual keyboard. It gets tiresome when you have to do that on like 10 + lines of code. Also, it'd be nice if you'd also add another feature where it'd allow us to remove the tab beside a selected lines of code.

Textile support?

EricK 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 3
THanks for the app, I can stop writing my own now. I would like to request support for textile files that end in .textile. The syntax highlighting is similar to markdown.

View Source code

Dario J. Novoa V. 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
I've just started using your app today seems pretty solid liking it so far I'm writing my first completely HTML5 page with some heavy JavaScript and using the twitter API with it, one thing I've notice and it's a real bummer is the inability of viewing the source code on the preview page. Not the source code of the file it self but the sorcecode of the processed preview.

Unable to select text while in read-only mode

franks42 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
It seems that when you switch to read-only mode, you cannot select text anymore to copy snippets out.

I filed this as a bug because I cannot imagine it's a feature ;-)
