Hi, I am a Textastic and Vim user.

I maintain my own vimrc on GitHub and use Textastic via WorkingCopy to edit it on iOS.

I have been using it for a long time and feel very comfortable with it. A slight gripe, however, is the lack of syntax highlighting in VimScript.

I would like to have syntax highlighting applied to *.vim and *.vimrc.

Thank you in advance.

PS: This sentence is using Deepl translation. Sorry if it's hard to understand.

Is it possible to do multi-caret editing - to make the same change in specific multiple places at once?

I’m working on an HTML file, after changins some code, I preview the document, this works fine. But when I return to the editor, my cursos is lost, and the code editor has no focus, I have to tab the screen to regain coding abilities.

It't would be greate, if atfer openning the preview and close it, I could jus't keep coding.

My setup:

IPad

External bluetooth keyboard

I'm using Textastic to view and modify text files stored on a cloud drive (pCloud), which is generally working well. However, if I have a file open in Textastic and modify it from another computer, one of the following happens:

• In some cases, the open tab just closes
• In other cases, the file remains open, but doesn't refresh with the modified version of the file

I can work around this by re-opening the closed tab, or by closing and re-opening the Textastic app.

I'd prefer if the tab didn't close, but a message appeared stating the file has changed, and asking if I want to reload it. Alternatively, just a menu option to reload the current file would be a reasonable solution.

Great app!

console.log and for-of loop are missing in the code completion suggestion.
I’m going through the advent of code using JavaScript in Textastic 👍

While using the SSH terminal, to get the paste option you currently have to tap twice: the first tap dismisses the keyboard, and the second brings back the keyboard and shows the paste option. I would expect the first tap to bring up the paste option.

File Explorer is a great app that has Files app integration and it would be great if Textastic supported it like it does with Working Copy. This would allow mounting files on a remote server in FE and editing them in Textastic, among other things.

Hello there,

Today's post is just a funny one. I'll be releasing different types of themes for the community. I'll update this post regularly to add new theme's every now and then. Feel free to suggest themes!

How to add themes? Go to your Textastic app, open the local files > create a new folder name the folder #Textastic (make sure it's exactly named like that else it won't work!) add a file into the folder named (you may choose the name as long as the file extension is ends with) .tmTheme 

Theme's are below: 

Notepad theme:

Please consider adding tooltips to the toolbar buttons and such.

(using the Apple Magic Keyboard with Trackpad, the ‘Working Copy’ app has tooltips, very convenient…)

Please add Filebrowser integration to get access to more locations to work with.
