Let users delete the Getting Started file

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago updated 14 years ago 0
Currently, the Getting Started document is alway re-created at application launch.

Textastic also opens the document, when there are no other files in the files panel.

It should be possible to disable this behaviour and to delete the GettingStarted.textastic file.
Version 1.1
Answer
This is now possible in 1.1.

You can re-enable the GettingStarted file in settings.

Optionally show symbols list in left hand pane

Jan Jakob Bornheim 12 years ago in iPad 0

It would be great to switch the content of the left hand pane to display the go-to symbols of the currently open file rather than the file list. I realise I can see the symbols list as a hover-over list by touching the symbol but if attached to the left pane it could be permanently open while I have the iPad in landscape mode.

Preview for Themes/ Specify syntax highlight colors?

Read Frost 12 years ago in iPhone updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 0
I would love to be able to match the highlight colors to my desktop code editor so that I can eliminate any confusion. Also, while looking for a theme with similar colors I found it redundant to tap options, scroll to themes, select them, tap back, tap done, and then find that the theme I chose was not my favorite, and repeat. Still great app!
Answer

Good point.

Mount remote directory over ssh

Okev 13 years ago updated by CuriousTommy 4 years ago 4
Would be useful for development where you need to use a remote server.
Instead of checking files in/out over SFTP, I'd like to suggest mounting a remote folder locally.
What this means is that I can access any random file within the directory and when the file is saved, it's automatically pushed to the remote server without any other operations

This means that
- I can run it from my own flavour of web server - PHP, etc
- I can use GIT or SVN

Bonus points for allowing any web page open in the web preview window and an SSH shell :)

This may go against the philosophy of "Build everything into the one app", so I'd like to point that out upfront. I still think that the remote workflow support would be extremely useful.
Answer

Actually, this is already possible using the app Secure ShellFish which allows you to access SSH/SFTP servers as folders in the Files app. You can add those folders as external folders to Textastic and open and edit the files as if they were local.

Have dark themes change the top bar that's visible during editor to be darker/user customizable.

Jason Marsh 12 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 0


Subject pretty much says it all, I think the app is great as it is but when using a dark theme the brightness of that lone bar up top is a bit distracting - perhaps it could be adjusted in tone or something?  Thanks :)

Using TAB key on selected lines of codes…

iSpikeyBoy 14 years ago 0
It'd be nice if you'd add a feature where you can add tab to a selected lines of code without having to move your cursor to the beginning of a line and push TAB on the virtual keyboard. It gets tiresome when you have to do that on like 10 + lines of code. Also, it'd be nice if you'd also add another feature where it'd allow us to remove the tab beside a selected lines of code.

Textile support?

EricK 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 3
THanks for the app, I can stop writing my own now. I would like to request support for textile files that end in .textile. The syntax highlighting is similar to markdown.
