CSS Color picker

When working with CSS and HTML, it would be SO handy to have Textastic give you a popup color picker when you type #.

Full screen view

Jonathan Ragan-Kelley 14 years ago updated by J. Rahman 2 years ago 19 1 duplicate
Given the iPad's limited screen real estate with the landscape keyboard active (doubly do with the extra row of keys Textastic usefully adds), it would be extremely useful to have a view mode which maximized the text editor area as much as possible, in particular by hiding the top bar and leaving only the editor area and keyboard (and black status bar, which of course can't be disabled). This is quite useful in Simplenote and WriteRoom for iOS.

WebDAV Client / iDisk support

John Holland 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 2 2 duplicates
I would like have WebDAV client support, rather than a WebDAV server. Apples own Pages and Number for iPad now include such support. If possible, project / top folder oriented WebDAV connection properties would be useful.

This may also ease the need for direct support of separate version control systems being that most have support for a WebDAV connection.

The WebDAV client should also support iDisk.
Answer
Added in Textastic 2.2.

Real time error detection

ct2k7 14 years ago updated by Nathan Monk 11 years ago 2 1 duplicate
Hello,

I think it'd be useful if textTastic could detecy syntax errors, such as misspelt functions, or missing semi-colons etc. on code. What I'm asking for you to look at implementing is real-time error detection.

I completely understand that TextTastic is not meant to be a fully-blown IDE, however, it's a feature I'd find to be super useful for editing code remotely.

Thanks

More sophisticated automatic indentation

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago updated 4 years ago 2
When defining new classes or methods, the following line should be indented.

This needs to be implemented depending on the currently selected syntax file.
Answer

Textastic 9.3 adds the new setting “Indent Based on Syntax”: Automatically indent code when typing, based on its syntax.


For example, increases the indentation when pressing Return after an opening curly brace (“{”) in C or an opening tag in HTML and decreases indentation after a closing curly brace (“}”) or a closing tag.

Spaces instead tabs for indentation (soft tabs)

It would be nice to have the option to indent using spacing instead of tabs.

Gestures do navigate: page up, page down etc. It would make life much easier.

Alexandre 14 years ago updated by Bertrand Jesenberger 4 years ago 10
Navigating trough the code just using scrolling and searching is slow and somewhat tedious. Gestures or buttons for faster navigation would be very welcome. Page Up, Page Down, line begin, line end, etc... I would really like to see those !

File Management

Martin Hasenbein 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 8 1 duplicate
I've added a few files, but now I would like to organize them into folders. I can create folders, but I ca'nt move my files in these folders. It would be nice to get this ability.
Answer
This is implemented for Textastic 2.0:

I added a "Move" button next to the "Delete" button that will allow you to move files and folders to other folders.

It's also be possible to rename and copy files and folders.

iCloud compatibility

Lucio Bragagnolo 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 7 1 duplicate

iCloud compatibility would be a real boon. I realize that, being Textastic iPad-only, iCloud becomes a sort of Dropbox duplicate. But I like the general idea of compatibility with the main features of iOS and iCloud is for sure one of these. Thanks and kudos for the great job!
