Please honor iOS settings like Spell Checking, Auto-Correction, and Auto-Capitalization. Kudos for the good job!

Textastic doesn't apply them even if they are active system-wide.
Version 2.0
Answer
Added two options to the settings screen:

- Auto-Correction Yes/No
- Auto-Capitalization Yes/No

Both settings default to "No".

This is especially useful when editing plain text files or markdown files.

An option to turn off line numbers

Jan Rychter 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 0
Line numbers make an editor look cool, but their practical utility is near zero — no one uses them for anything except perhaps when dealing with bug reports. They do consume precious screen real estate, especially in vertical mode, and I can see less code because of them.

I'd like to see a preferences option to keep them permanently turned off, so that I can see more code on screen. An option, so that we could switch them on sometimes if needed.

PS: I *love* Textastic!

Version 3.2

This is implemented in Textastic 3.2

Different file icons

anonymous 14 years ago in General 0

I have a suggestion: Make files written in different languages have different file icons! The current icon is perfect for HTML/XML/etc, but not for languages like Java.

Support local links to "external" files opened with iCloud Drive

Maurice Zoliker 11 years ago in General updated by Colin Wirt 11 years ago 7
Hello,

I think it would be very clever to add the possibility to "save" in local files a link to an external file opened with iCloud Drive.

Using "Recent files" is a temporary fix, but having symlink-like entries in Textastic's local files (maybe with some sort of icon or different color) would clearly help me not to constantly reopen the same files from my repositories stored in Working Copy (via "Open...").

And if the file no longer exists, just display a popup and remove the link.

What do you think of this? Am I missing an obvious solution?

Thank you for your response.

Kind regards,
Maurice

If we have HTML Files and CSS Stylesheet Files in the Same Folder, we should Be able to use the linked Stylesheet Files in our HTML File Previews. Currently, Not even inline CSS will Be used in previews...

Faster folder selection when moving or copying files

Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 years ago updated by j_w 13 years ago 1
Move of files with file structure: Currently one sees a list of all folders if he wants to move a file.

The problem: the number of folder is meanwhile quite long and it takes some time to scroll down.

Possible solutions: do not expand all the folders just show expandable folders. Or faster scroll down.

Relative path against a folder

Matteo Del Vecchio 14 years ago updated by Gregory Potter 1 month ago 4
When I use HTML and CSS files, I have to rewrite every path that is in code. Why don't you make every path relative to its super directory? That's what I mean: in the Files view, I create a new folder called Project, where I put every file that belongs to that project. Inside it I create and index.html file and a folder called "images". Now when I write the code I would like that paths should be written as /images/image.png instead of adding even the main folder name like /Projects/images/image.png
This would improve the user experience, I think.
