Open files directly over sftp with a live sftp browser. No syncing entire dirs!

Reilly Beacom 11 years ago in General 0
I don't care if a temp file is copied to my ipad as long as that is invisible to me. I just want to open a single file and see its *remote* path and save it to its remote path.

Compile and Run

Cameron Mitchell 11 years ago in General 0

If you could add the ability to compile and run code that would be awesome. That is the only thing holding this app back. I'm sure Apple makes this difficult if not impossible so if it isn't possible then thats okay. Love the app!

Edit Syntax Highlighting Definition Files

tom reussner 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
I would prefer to have access to the underlying syntax highlighting definition files in order to make changes on my own. This works very well in 'Ultraedit' (www.ultraedit.com), a very popular editor in the Windows/Linux world, which allows me to extend the list of languages with my own or new languages or keywords. Changing colours is just a subset of this feature. Thanks for your consideration!

Coding keyboard in search

john kennedy 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 2
It looks like the default iPad keyboard is used in search and replace. Using the coding kb would make searching for HTML tags MUCH easier!!

Add a few tools like JSLint, CSSLint and HTML Tidy

Mark Sta Ana 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 3
It would be wonderful if these could be added as utilities within Textastic. You could use JSHint (instead of JSLint) if you're feeling kind towards new javascript coders.

Arduino support?

Would it highlight the syntax of Arduino. Would you consider adding this feature, as Arduino is growing in popularity? Thanks.

Roundtrip HTML Editing / Web Preview

David Owens 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 8
Create a UIWebview so that we can preview changes done on website work. I was thinking about making this app and then I saw your text editor.
Version 1.1
Answer
Local Web Preview is implemented. Will be available in the next version.

I've posted a demo on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAq6W5wnNAk&hd=1

Ability to lock screen

kkelley 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 6
The dynamic zoom is great, but you can't scroll the screen without it flying all over the place. The ability to lock the screen at a specific zoom level is needed.

automatically add the next bullet on enter in markdown

Richard Sugg 13 years ago updated by Austin Drummond 7 years ago 4
I think it would be really helpful when editing (multi)markdown documents to automatically continue bullets. If I'm in a list and hit enter at the end of an item in the list, let Textastic automatically indent to the same level, add the same symbol I'm using for bullets, and put another space. So if I have

    * item 1
    * item 2

and hit enter, I get

    * item 1
    * item 2
    * 

thanks!
