Prefered coding language

Fexxel 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 16
Is there a way to create a surway on this forum to get an idea what language people are using most often with textastic?
If other people are asking about support for other langauges we would know how many people would benefit from it (average percentage is enough).
This would also help us to know what code completion should be worked on with higher priority.

If this needs a lot of time for setup, then never mind, but if it's only a tap away, these would be useful information.

Find and Replace history and starred/favourites

Colin Wirt 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
There are a few find and replace tasks I perform often.

They're generally fairly complex and tricky to type without an external keyboard or the Additional Keys panel or TextExpander which are both disabled in this UI.

Any chance we can have a find and replace history as well as being able to pin/star/favourite entries that we perform regularly.

Folder and file symbols are both in blue and at a quick glance they look alike.
Please color the folder symbol in yellow.

Add Cubby as Source

Ishan Sharma 12 years ago 0

Dropbox is a really good service but Cubby is a great new competitor and I am sure many others will also like to see this supported. 


Please consider adding http://cubby.com to file sources.

As a developer I will appreciate anything makes me code faster, I started to use Dash for MAC which has a great syncing option with dropbox. I suggest to add this feature so my snippets synced all over my devices.

A couple of useful tools for creating templates for Textastic

Ramon Figueroa-Centeno 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 1

Aloha,


I found the following two tool useful in creating templates:


1. To escape the characters that need escaping:


http://www.freeformatter.com/java-dotnet-escape.html#ad-output


(the instructions in https://github.com/blach/Textastic-Customization, do not mention escaping characters beyond tabs and newlines, but one has to also).


2. To check the syntax of the json file (otherwise Textastic will not load it):


http://jsonlint.com/


I don't do java, so these two tool were very useful.

A setting to disable additional keys clicking sound

Pierre Hans Corcoran 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
Even if the keyboard clicking sounds are disabled in general settings, the additional row is still clicking, which is annoying. Clicking virtual keyboards combine all the disadvantages of real keyboards (noisy) without the advantages (touch feedback for finger position).
Answer
Textastic 2.1 will honour the system setting for keyboard sounds.

Auto-indent for python

Mr. Man 9 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 5 years ago 3
Since python relies on indents for flow control, I feel this should be added in. Also if you could add in a console type thing I believe previews for many more programs could be possible

When using Softtabs and putting in some spaces at the beginning of the line (to intend line) after a couple of spaces the actual line jumps back at the end of the line before and removes the last two characters.

New top row keys

Dan Eveland 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
Ok, the idea behind these top row keys is just amazing! I don't know if this exists anywhere else or you made it up, but this is so great! That whole tap and slide thing is so easy and is so much faster than switching keyboard modes. Thanks! I wish those were everywhere now, like in iSSH and my VNC app Jump.
