Search and search/replace history

Pedro Brandao 13 years ago in General updated by Arsastronautica 5 years ago 3

Oftentimes you want to use a previously used regular expression; other times you might have been working on a complex regular expression and want to go back working on it; or perhaps you were searching for specific phrases and the app crashed before you could find what you wanted.  For these (and doubtless other) reasons, it would be very useful to have a history on the search and search/replace text fields.

Auto-fill Doctype, Unicode, and Auto-Complete closing tags

Israel Collazo 15 years ago 0
This app would be A+ if it had the ability to auto-fill the doctype and unicode when selecting html4, html5, xhtml, etc...

I hope future update will have the ability for auto-complete closing tags.

Add the possibility to change line spacing/leading

SvenB 11 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 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) 15 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.
