View Source code

Dario J. Novoa V. 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
I've just started using your app today seems pretty solid liking it so far I'm writing my first completely HTML5 page with some heavy JavaScript and using the twitter API with it, one thing I've notice and it's a real bummer is the inability of viewing the source code on the preview page. Not the source code of the file it self but the sorcecode of the processed preview.

Unable to select text while in read-only mode

franks42 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
It seems that when you switch to read-only mode, you cannot select text anymore to copy snippets out.

I filed this as a bug because I cannot imagine it's a feature ;-)

Linked folder

Lingnan Dai 13 years ago in General updated by anonymous 8 years ago 3

The editor interface is great, but file creation flow for the remote server is too slow. We need to first create a file locally, then edit it, then upload manually onto the server. Why don't just support *Link* for folders? When I download a folder from a server, it should be linked to the remote server and any new files I add into the folder should just be automatically uploaded into the same folder in the server.

Built in web server

Gwthompson 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 5
I love this product however what would make it perfect ,for me at least , would be a built in web server to allow the iPad to become my development server for HTML5/CSS work.

Thanks,

Use the WebDAV server. This is essentially a lighttpd web server with WebDAV extensions.

Search Google (alternately using highlighted text)

Wayne Walrath 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1

I am constantly looking-up functions or doing research while coding.

Suggest (in the style of the new feature for in-app previewing of HTML files) to support the following:

- When text is highlighted, button on the contextual popups to search for text at Google (yahoo, bing, etc....I'm happy with google alone); should be sensitive to the amount of text selected -- more than a half dozen tokens doesn't make sense for a search engine lookup.
Editor window would flip from code view to UIWebView and performs the search.

- Alternately, with no code highlighted, ability to pull up Google search page and enter a manual search.

- State should be maintained in the WebView so that I have access to the browser pane's history (go back at least), and when switching to the webview, it's exactly where I left it when last viewed.

- If file being viewed is PHP code, offer "lookup in PHP documentation". Similar support for other languages as appropriate.

List of Favorite files

Daniel Tsou 14 years ago 0
Ability to mark any file with a star and have them easily accessible from a "favorites" tab in the file browser.

Use case: there are times when I need to work alternatively between 2 different files often. One might be a JavaScript file in a JS folder, or a CSS file in a styles folder or HTML files nested in different folders. Having them in a favorites tab will let me switch between them quickly in a project without having to go through the nest of folders or list of files when I'm switching between them often.

Love textastic!! Don't need to carry my computer to code any more!!

I know VB is supported, but what about vbs (Visual Basic Script)

Pedro Reyes 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 5
I work tons with Visual Basic Scripts, and it would be great to have the syntax and reserved words highlighted like in VB
