Capture special keys by filetype

Dohn 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
As you use special characters, they are captured and displayed on the extra key bar. The unique keys and their weighted importance are saved by filetype. There may be one set of special keys when writing SQL queries, and others for other file types

Text entry sluggish

Matthijs van Polen 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 11
Not sure if it's a bug, but text editing is quite laggy. I type the characters (Bluetooth keyboard or on screen, doesn't matter) and then I slowly see them appear. This is especially annoying when deleting text.
Answer
Textastic uses the CATiledLayer class to draw the text in background threads. This is the same class that is used in the Maps app which fades in Google Maps layers as soon as they are loaded from the internet.

So, the text isn't displayed immediately, but drawn in the background and then faded in. This makes it look slightly sluggish, especially because the screen is drawn in tiles and several tiles have to be drawn and faded in. This is especially noticable with external keyboards, because then there's a bigger screen areay that has to be drawn.

But, this makes scrolling and zooming very fast even with big text files and CATiledLayer makes good use of the limited memory available on the iPad.

I see what you mean, but I think it's acceptable. I'll see if I can improve drawing in a future version, but right now it's not a priority.

Syntax Highting for C

Koga Osamu 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
It seems preprocessor directive #else is not highlighted.
Also, directives often have some spaces between # and keyword for indent(like # if) but currently it isn't highlighted correctly, so i'd be glad if you would support it.
