Search & Replace

Tobias Steinke 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 11
Every good editor should have a functionality to search AND replace.
Version 2.0
Answer
This is implemented in Textastic 2.0.

You can also search for "\n" (newline) and "\t" (tab). This allows you for example to replace all newline characters with two newline characters.

I've also added options for:
- Match whole words
- Case sensitive search
- Diacritic sensitive search

Support for OneDrive (SkyDrive) would be fantastic!

Michael Heitland 12 years ago updated by Dean Nash 1 year ago 14 10 duplicates
Dropbox is already supported, but SkyDrive will become very prominent with the introduction of Windows 8 this fall.

Cheers,

Add remote preview support

Dave Z 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 13 2 duplicates
Add support in the "preview" section for remote viewing (in addition to local viewing) so that files like PHP can be interpreted. Having an address bar to manually enter a URL would be ideal since not every PHP file resolves to a specific file (PHP scripts are often included into other scripts).
Answer
Textastic 4.0 will have remote preview support.

Would love CSS Preprocessor support (specifically .scss)

Terence Devine 12 years ago updated by Dana Elza 6 years ago 8
I've recently started using .scss along with CodeKit, and can't imagine going back now!  I'm getting an iPad in the next few days and was considering textastic, but was really looking to have Sass support!

SSH Terminal

Ben Allfree 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 5 years ago 7 3 duplicates
Now that SFTP support is built in, the only thing missing for my daily workflow is an SSH terminal. SFTP+Terminal are the features I use in Coda and it's very nice to have an integrated SSH terminal (or more than one) as tabs along with the open files.
Answer

Textastic 7 will be able to open SSH Terminal connections in tabs.
