Add the possibility to change line spacing/leading

SvenB 10 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 1
The possibility to change the line spacing (e.g. in simple, one digit steps between 1.0 and 1.5) would be great for making code more readable.

Respect indentation when wrapping text

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
Customer request:

"- when a line wraps after the defined number or characters per line the wrapped portion shows up against the left margin rather than at the tab
- when the line wraps as described above the tab does not inherit to the tab in the next line, it is flush left

The behaviour that I'm hoping to find with Textastic does occur in TextWranger (Mac OSX) as well as the Solaris Text Editing tool I used a few years back. "

AirPlay Support

j 11 years ago in General 0
It would be great to see some sort of enhanced AirPlay mirroring support for Textastic iOS. Some apps have the ability to change what you see on the iOS device screen when mirroring is turned on. This would allow Textastic to take advantage of the larger (TV) screen's real estate while using the iOS device for controls/keyboard only. Maybe this could allow for multiple editing panels (ie HTML and CSS side-by-side)?

Please add the support of an embedded web browser.

Shu Li 13 years ago in iPad 0

There are two many times that I have to refer to the web for information and answers. But switching between apps constantly is such a pain. Please consider  to add an embedded web browser for online reference. And it would be great if bookmark, tab-view is supported.

4-way direction arrow keyset brought up with gesture

scott o. 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 8
Most frustrating part of doing coding on iOS is the clunky way you have to move the cursor around, it's by far the biggest bottleneck in terms of productivity. Often you just want to move i over one or two spaces, or up or down a line, and using the iOS method is just sheer pain.

It's a radical idea, but I'd love a simple gesture (two finger swipe, or something) to bring up a floating keyset with the 4 direction arrows. It would be sheer bliss when moving the cursor around, and it could be dismissed with the same gesture.
