Autocomplete based on text in document

jangelsb 6 years ago in General 0

Similar to Sublime Text, it would be awesome if when you typed it would suggest/ autocomplete based on other words in the current document.

Elm support (to catch up with Working Copy)

Stephen C 7 years ago in General 0

Now that Working Copy has built-in Elm syntax highlighting, I’ve stopped using Textastic. The instructions for installing external syntax highlighting is weak (including in the PDF). Even if we could just point to a Github repository for a .tmbundle, it seems that the Elm versions assume elm-format to be installed, which makes them incompatible with Textastic on iPad and iPhone.

.vue file syntax highlight

Aleksandr 7 years ago in General updated by Jeremy Dillworth 5 years ago 3

Is it possible to get a syntax hightlight in `.vue` files? 


A typical vuejs component file consist of:


<template></template> // html goes here

<script>export default{} </script> // javascript goes here

<style></style> // CSS goes here.


Is this possible? Every .vue file must have at least <style> tag. (Although for such a simple file we can just use html highlight).

Support OneDrive for Business and/or Sharepoint via WebDAV

rolfgroeneveld 7 years ago in iPad updated by Hexin 6 years ago 7

I just found out that some apps (e.g. Goodreader) allow users to access their OneDrive for Business by inserting the Sharepoint URL in WebDAV. So far I can’t get it to work in Textastic. I get an error message “Error 403”. Am I missing something?

What's new in Textastic 3.0?

Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 11

Major new features:

  • Re-implemented the code editor and syntax highlighting engine from the ground up. The new engine is compatible with TextMate syntax definitions and themes.
  • You can choose from many popular themes
  • New symbol list shows symbols in the current file (for example function and class names, html ids, markdown headlines...)
  • The new syntax highlighter supports nested syntaxes (CSS in HTML in a PHP file)
  • Markdown syntax highlighting
  • You can now use your own custom syntax definitions and themes (this is explained in the manual)
  • You can now bring up a list of recently opened files by tapping on the file name. This allows to quickly switch between several files. There's also a button that allows you to close the currently open file.
  • Full support for Japanese text and other wide characters

NOTE: Because of a change that was necessary in this version, you'll have to re-enter all passwords for your connections after you install the update. Sorry for that.


Other changes:

  • Added modification time in file listings
  • Added a redo button
  • Added more character encodings
  • New "Copy All" command to copy the contents of the current file
  • CSS styles in Markdown are now used for preview
  • When you do a quick file transfer, you can disable the overwrite confirmation prompt. You can also re-enable the confirmation in the app's settings screen.
  • Row of additional keys is now shown in Find/Replace
  • TextExpander support in Find/Replace
  • If you manually select a syntax definition for a file, this is used as the default for all files with the file's extension (this helps with .h files, which can be C++, C or Objective-C)

Connections:

  • Added ipv6 support for (S)FTP connections
  • Fixed some WebDAV issues
  • WebDAV: support for self-signed ssl certificates
  • FTPS/FTPES: "SSL Mode": you can now require SSL only for the control connection or for all communication
  • FTP: empty files (0 bytes) can now be downloaded
  • FTP: You can now set the maximum amount of concurrent connections for FTP connections
Version 3.0

Undo whole word or tag

Vitaly Ishkulov 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
When you type and then press Undo it removes every single letter. Sometimes it's way too slow.
Could you make Undo to remove whole word or tag or variable? So it removes everything you typed up to the space or special character.

e.g. I typed 
<div style="font-family:Aria
—> tap Undo
<div style="font-family:
—> tap Undo
<div style="font-

And so on.
