The delete key deletes the character behind the cursor. I want a key to delete the character in front of the cursor.

Show line numbers in search results

Simeon Leifer 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
I was doing search and replace in a large block of text that looked very similar. It would be very helpful to have the option to see line numbers in the search results. (not just when the found text happen to be near the start of the line)

Drawing Japanese characters makes the app extremely slow to type

Masashi Ono 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 5

Thanks to the latest 2.2 update, viewing Japanese text in the Textastic is much more comfortable than ever! But sadly, here we got an another problem with Japanese.

Adding more than 2000 (or around) characters of Japanese to the text makes the text view extremely slow and I can hardly type. Here's what I found when the text view is filled with Japanese characters:

  • Scrolling through the text view full of Japanese feels a bit slower than that of English.
  • Tapping user interface components (such as buttons) works as usual.
  • Moving the cursor doesn't be affected by this problem.
  • Only inserting or deleting characters in the text view is affected rendering the typing almost impossible.

[Edit] I've prepared a couple of sample text files to reproduce this problem. You can download them from my gist:

C/C++ comment syntax highlighting bug

Jake Traynham 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago 1
I have some sources with comment lines like:

//*******

Only that one line should be commented out, but the syntax highlighter is seeing the "/*" in there and greying out all lines after it.

language refs and api docs

Mike Eenkhoorn 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 0
It would be very useful to have an in-app purchase for language refs or api docs of many kinds. It could be an option in the files sidebar, so that one could access the language reference and leave it open in the sidebar while one codes so its very easy reference. You could offer it as an in-app purchase for each language and let people get the languages they want. I would definitely buy 5-6 of them almost immediately. Only points would be to make sure they are quite thorough, as in not incomplete. I've bought many other language ref apps and they are often woefully incomplete, not mildly, like the css pro language ref app doesn't have all of CSS3 in it, missing gradients, animation, etc., etc.,  The jquery one doesn't have the templating library, the PHP one doesn't have msqli. These are all very common, so its not like its real obscure things missing. But if it was done well, this could be a very good add to an already great app. I'd buy several.
