Git repository on WebDAV volume

ProfesseurB 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 6
In order to manage code editing and synchronization of my iPad, I tried to install a Git repo on the Textastic folder, when mounted on my Mac through WebDAV. It works pretty well, but still there are difficulties. In particular, it keeps on saying:
"Unable to create '/Volumes/10.0.1.9/.../.git/index.lock': File exists.". Any idea?

Remotely execute code via Heroku

Jack Chu 13 years ago updated by Jack Chu 12 years ago 2
This is similar the Remote source code compilation idea, but instead of ideone, it would use Heroku. Heroku currently supports Ruby, Javascript, Python, Java (so any language on the JVM like jRuby and Clojure).

Once you have the git integration done, deploying to Heroku should be as simple as a git push command. You could even use the "heroku run bash" as a remote terminal window for your code or "heroku run <insert script name>" and pipe the output to the iPad.

Users could setup their own Heroku account and Textastic could add a Heroku API Key config. That way each user will pay for their own usage.

sftp public key should ask for password

Peer Stritzinger 14 years ago updated by Ben Bass 12 years ago 4
The whole point in having a ssh private key encrypted with a password is that its not revealed when the file is exposed.

Since I have to store the key ipassword in the connection my iPad has the key and the password stored.

I'f I let the password field empty I'd expect that I would be asked for the key password when connecting, but what happens is that the connection doesn't work.

If his feature is added, having configurable flags when the key will be forgotten would be great, e.g. when app is backgrounded, on screen lock, after configurable timeout separately configurable would be very nice.

Currently I have to remove all passwords from all used sftp connections after use which is a bit of a nuisance and also error prone.

Search for a file by name

rick suzuki 13 years ago 0
Hi there,

Love the app! use it for coding, objective-c, websites etc.

Also, keep all my bass tabs in in txt files in folders coded A to Z by artist, the syntax coloring make the tabs so easy to read; however, sometimes I can't remember the name of the song but not the artist.

How can search for the the name or part of the name of a txt file? This isn't super urgent, but would be useful, I have about 350 bass tabs (txt files)

Best Regards,
Eric

How about adding a php runtime just like kodiak?

Phpmavern 12 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 1

Add php runtime to allow running php scripts locally.  I have kodiak installed on my ipad which does just that. Textastic could benefit.

Matlab .m support

Elsa Birch 14 years ago 0
The syntax of typical script and function file type of Matlab is not interpreted correctly (eg, single quote when used as transpose is interpreted as unterminated string). This would be very helpful as other matlab types are listed as supported. Thanks, and please forgive if I have missed some ovbious remedy to this.

Japanese characters are not rendered in the same size relative to riman text as other iPad apps

William Fithen 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 5
Japanese characters are so small that to be readable, the font size must be increased to the point the roman chacters are ridiculously large.
Answer

This should now work correctly in the just-released version 3.0.

Syntax Highlighting for Ansys APDL language

MichaelT 14 years ago 0
It would be really great, if Ansys APDL language would be supported. You can get an example from Notepad++ or VIM (sadly no fraise file). Thank you for your great app and for considering it.

Optionally hide/don't show the tab character

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
Currently, Textastic always displays the tab character as a gray triangle. It should be possible to disable this in the app's settings.

Add a vertical column marker

Chris Le 13 years ago 0
Add the ability to have a vertical column marker.  It can be set to any column or use a default of 80 characters.
Example screenshot from Sublime Text 2 with a column marker set at 80 characters.
