An option to turn off line numbers

Jan Rychter 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 0
Line numbers make an editor look cool, but their practical utility is near zero — no one uses them for anything except perhaps when dealing with bug reports. They do consume precious screen real estate, especially in vertical mode, and I can see less code because of them.

I'd like to see a preferences option to keep them permanently turned off, so that I can see more code on screen. An option, so that we could switch them on sometimes if needed.

PS: I *love* Textastic!

This is fixed for Textastic 3.1.

In the meantime, you can use this workaround:

Add the following line to your Apache config (httpd.conf):

BrowserMatch "^Textastic" redirect-carefully

Faster folder selection when moving or copying files

Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago updated by j_w 12 years ago 1
Move of files with file structure: Currently one sees a list of all folders if he wants to move a file.

The problem: the number of folder is meanwhile quite long and it takes some time to scroll down.

Possible solutions: do not expand all the folders just show expandable folders. Or faster scroll down.

Compressed tarball tar.gz support needed

Kevleyski 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 0
Whilst zip support is appreciated, converting tar.gz and tar.bz2 is tricky on iPhone, adding support to just import tarball file directly would be great

Drawing Japanese characters makes the app extremely slow to type

Masashi Ono 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 5

Thanks to the latest 2.2 update, viewing Japanese text in the Textastic is much more comfortable than ever! But sadly, here we got an another problem with Japanese.

Adding more than 2000 (or around) characters of Japanese to the text makes the text view extremely slow and I can hardly type. Here's what I found when the text view is filled with Japanese characters:

  • Scrolling through the text view full of Japanese feels a bit slower than that of English.
  • Tapping user interface components (such as buttons) works as usual.
  • Moving the cursor doesn't be affected by this problem.
  • Only inserting or deleting characters in the text view is affected rendering the typing almost impossible.

[Edit] I've prepared a couple of sample text files to reproduce this problem. You can download them from my gist:
