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

Paul Kite 13 years ago updated by Maurizio Manuguerra 13 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.

Support Github Flavored Markdown would be great, considering it can show highlighted code, which is cool.

Sort Lines

Marek Omasta 2 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 2 years ago 1

I’d love to be able to sort lines in a text file. 

It’s useful for collecting data from websites and editing CSVs, i18n files, shell scripts or plain old text.

Usually to detect repetitive junk.

In some editors, Delete Duplicate Lines is part of it.


Here are examples from VS Code, Sublime Text, IntelliJ IDEA and gedit:

iPhone is my primary device now and apps such as Textastic allow me to get many things done on the go, without having to use my laptop.

Thank you!

Enable "Open in Textastic..." prompt from within Files app for .Rmd files

Leo 4 years ago in iPad updated by JD Fields 4 years ago 1

When viewing a regular Markdown file in the Files app, and after selecting Textastic from the share sheet once (which sets Textastic as the default app to open Markdown files in), an "Open in Textastic..." prompt will appear in the upper right of the file preview in the Files app.

This would be great to enable for .Rmd files (and basically any other text file extension) because it would streamline my workflow of searching for a file in the iOS Spotlight, then being able to click that prompt to open the file quicker than having to go find and open Textastic first, click "Open..." and find the file.

This might be a limitation with iOS Files though, I'm not sure, because the iOS Files app displays text preview of .md files whereas it does not for .Rmd files.

SSH Port Forwarding

olli 4 years ago in General 0

I started trying to use my iPad for programming purposes with server side languages (e.g. PHP). While a workflow of having to upload the files to a test server via SFTP and then reloading a browser window is doable, what I don‘t enjoy is having to have the web server be publicly available. I can use Termius to open an SSH connection and then forward the web server port to my iPad localhost. This workflow works fine, as long as I have both apps open in split screen view, otherwise Termius will drop the connection. So then I have to have the browser window in Slide Over mode, making reloading quite awkward.

Would it be possible to add the local port forwarding feature to the built in SSH client, which can already keep running together with editor windows? That would make the workflow a lot smoother, without having to have the webserver be exposed.
