High light ino code. I know it was C++ but you must change the file type for work with App.

Hi, Alexander - When I import a jpg file to a folder from the Photos app, Textastic is treating it as a binary file and it isn’t importing correctly. The workaround is to export the file from Photos to Folders and then open in Textastic, but it would be nice to be able to import directly again. Thanks, and thanks for the app - I do ALL my web development in it.

Thanks for the great app!

Would be really nice to have the material themes in the iOS app.

They can be found at:

I've used textastic for years and just recently I can no longer use double quotes and have the code compile when sftp'd to Linux (stray errors result). I am sure there is a setting that I have missed. What is it?

There are quite a few suggestions already concerning this, but none 100% like this:

I installed a new syntax definition via the described process. It theoretically works, however I cannot open any file of that type, even though described in the .tmLanguage file. For this reason Kodex has a switch to open any extension, something Textastic is unable to do. This is really frustrating. I hope both those features (extension from language file, all extensions possible) get implemented. Otherwise custom language syntax is pretty useless.

I’m almost always editing the same files. So it would be a nicer experience if, when starting up the app, there was an option for it to default to “recent files” instead of “local files”.

To make matters slightly worse, all the files I edit are external, not local, so currently the app likes to show me an empty folder on startup, and then I have to navigate “up” and into “recent files”. Not a big deal, but I have to do it a lot!! Would just make the app more polished I think. 

Aside from using Textastic for coding, I like to use it for keeping .txt files for simple notes. I’ve noticed that whenever I (on purpose) enter two or more spaces (e.g. to create a simple column table), a period is auto-added in the the first position of two spaces. This is annoying... seems more appropriate to a word processor than a code/text editor... and I wish there was a setting/preference to allow me to enable/disable this action.

Just bought Textastic and it’s looking like it will be quite useful for allowing me to edit code/text files on the go. I just noticed that it does not recognize R markdown files (.Rmd) but it seems to handle these files fine if I change the suffix to .mdown in Dropbox. It’s great that I can edit the files on my iPad but annoying that I have to change the file suffix to do so.

(Also might be nice to have support for bibliography files like .bib)
