File extensions and syntax definitions

John Kern 16 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 16 years ago 2
Please associate .xslt with xsl syntax definition so it will be recognized by other apps in "open with". Or feature manual extension of list of file extensions per syntax definition.

arrow keys

Felix 16 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 years ago 3
First of all your app is awesome! Perhaps you could implement arrow keys. I personally don't like selecting a caracter by taping on it. Right and left arrow keys would be fine.

Syntax Highlighting for yaml

Harald Lapp 15 years ago 0
it would be nice, if textastic would support syntax highlighting for yaml files -- see http://www.yaml.org/

Ability to update full directory structures rather than just one file.

Paul Kite 14 years ago updated by Maurizio Manuguerra 14 years ago 1
Currently it looks like you can update files on the device from their source one by one.  Something to help ease the absence of SVN and other version control solutions might be found in allowing full directory structures to be updated as well as single files.

Which programming or markup languages do you use most often with Textastic?

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago updated 4 years ago 62
To better support your needs, it would be nice if you could tell me which languages you view or edit the most in Textastic.

If something is missing on this list, please add a comment and I'll add it as an option.

Ability to reload modified files

James S 5 years ago in iPhone 0

I'm using Textastic to view and modify text files stored on a cloud drive (pCloud), which is generally working well. However, if I have a file open in Textastic and modify it from another computer, one of the following happens:

  • In some cases, the open tab just closes
  • In other cases, the file remains open, but doesn't refresh with the modified version of the file

I can work around this by re-opening the closed tab, or by closing and re-opening the Textastic app.


I'd prefer if the tab didn't close, but a message appeared stating the file has changed, and asking if I want to reload it. Alternatively, just a menu option to reload the current file would be a reasonable solution.

Autocomplete based on text in document

jangelsb 8 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 8 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.

Support OneDrive for Business and/or Sharepoint via WebDAV

rolfgroeneveld 9 years ago in iPad updated by Hexin 7 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?
