Remote editing on the server files

Saad 4 years ago in iPhone updated by Roman 1 year ago 1

Hi, I would like to be able to make edits on the remote version of the file so as soon I press save, the file on the remote is updated. And every time I open the file (while navigating in the remote directory), it fetches it from the remote server. I feel like that would be more efficient for me than making local copies and keeping them in sync.

Let me know what you think about this.


Thanks. 

Amazing app BTW.

Working with remote files directly

Jeff 4 years ago in General 0

Hi,

Since there is already the option to sync remote files to a local device, is it possible to add the option to ssh into a remote folder and edit those files directly?


It would be awesome if the current SSH options stay they way they are, so you can run shell commands on the server, but in addition to be able to edit files without having to sync them first.

Thanks :-)

Support for Multicursor (as seen in Sublime, Atom, VSCode)

ccssmnn 6 years ago in General updated by Nitin 5 years ago 2

I would love to see Multicursor functionality similar to the one available in Sublime, Atom or VSCode. They improve productivity a lot and save a lot of double/triple typing or search and replace processes.

Support for the new Files app (native integration)

The new Files app in iOS is the all-in-one place for file managers and it’d make it really easy to transfer files.

Delete files with swiping

It would be great if files could be deleted using the standard swipe to delete gesture like in the standard Apple apps.

Smb support

Jarrod Oberto 13 years ago 0
Hi, would you consider adding smb support (or other form of network support for win/ Linux )

It's a great app, but without an easy way to access files on my PHP server, it doesn't really matter how great an App is.

Dropbox is great for a single project. I don't have FTP setup. And I don't have a Mac. Network support would be fantastic!

Web Preview Browser independent of file being edited

Daniel Tsou 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 8 years ago 5

Currently the preview button is tied to a file. It would be cool if there was a browser you can view and hide any time from Textastic, regardless of which file you were editing on, it would be showing that same file you loaded onto that browser.


My use case:
I'm currently building an app on AngularJS (The perfect language for Textastic, since there's nothing but Javascript, HTML and CSS). My app works from index.html only, with the javascript files pulling everything else, so when I edit another HTML file, the only way I can test it is to go back to index.html, preview it, then find the file I was editing earlier to make changes.


So if there was an independent browser, I could load it to point to index.html, and regardless which file I was editing, I could pull up the browser that's showing that file and back again immediately.


Thanks for the great work with Textastic by the way! I really really love it! Especially now that I'm working on an AngularJS app!

The ability to close a file when you have finished with it would be great.

Syntax Highlighting Support for Fletcher Penney's MultiMarkdown

Neil Moore 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 2
I use MultiMarkdown for most of my writing. While there are several apps that support rendering of Markdown, there are none that support MultiMarkdown, and no app that does syntax highlighting for it. I think you would find a big market of non-coding geeks who would buy in for that feature alone.
Answer
Textastic 5.1 now uses MultiMarkdown v4 instead of the Discount Markdown library for its integrated Markdown preview.

.mmd files automatically use the MultiMarkdown syntax highlighter, but you can also choose the syntax definition manually from the File Properties popover if you want to use it for other file extension like .md, which uses the Markdown syntax definition by default.

"Failed Initialization" error, SFTP to some hosts

Nathan11g 13 years ago updated by Cheli 5 years ago 13
When connecting to certain hosts via SFTP, I get an error that says "Transfer Error: Failed initialization". For example: dante.u.washington.edu. It does not matter what username or password you use, you get the same error.

I had a similar problem with Panic's Prompt app, which has since been fixed in their app. They found that it was an issue with libssh2. If you are also using libssh2, the following discussion may help: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.ssh.libssh2.devel/5414 .


Version 4.3
Answer

Will be fixed in Textastic 4.3.
