navigation stack so after a search or other jump i can jump back to original locations via stack
say i am looking at file.c:49 and i search for symbol x in the file and jump sroumd to random occurrences, I would like the ability to jump back through each jump. Lets say occurences i view in order are file.c:10 then file.c:200.
The featre request would be a button or shortcut (maybe cmd + [, ]) that would take me through the stack in the following way:
from current position: file.c:200
hit back, end up at: file.c:10
hit back, end up at: file.c:49
hit back, stack empty, noop
this would extend to multiple searches and across files. you have to handle files edited between traverals of history, but just document the behavior.
Add custom emmet snippets to Textastic on iOS
I'd like to add some custom Emmet snippets to Textastic on iOS, but I can't make it work.
I tried following the directions on Emmet's site for adding the file (https://docs.emmet.io/customization/snippets/), but I'm not sure where to put it. I've added the snippets.json file to #Textastic, but it won't take.
Is it possible to use this file right now? Does it need to go in a subfolder of #Textastic?
"Workflow" app - integration
I would love it if you could look into exploring ways for more integration with the Workflow iOS app. Could you maybe think about possibilities? I would like to be able to get access to my Textastic documents from within Workflow scripts, and I would also like to be able to automate opening Textastic with particular files passed by Workflow and passing edited files back into Workflow. That way I could use Textastic as part of a task automation.
Any ideas?
Best,
Cecil Ward
Emmet interferes with emacs key bindings
I have emacs in my manual reflexes. The emmet use of Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E means I can't use those emacs actions now. I don't use emmet, so could there be a setting to completely turn off emmet so it doesn't interfere with those keystrokes? Thanks
Slow editing of tidied code: have you heard from Apple yet?
Howdy, Alexander; I've posted this to you as a problem report before, and your response was that it was an Apple problem, and not the app's. I'm just here to ask whether you've heard from Apple.
The problem being, it's about impossible to edit tidied code. I have, for example, several files whose first records are up to 1200+ characters. While they are fully visible in Textastic, it is painful even to place the cursor accurately in the record, and agonizing to use the cursor-movement wheel. (You were able to reproduce the problem with example code I sent.)
For now, I've reverted to BBEdit on my MBP.
The ability to start a new document without creating it in an external source and uploading it to a cloud server would be nice.
There is no way to start a new document or project in your app. The only way I can figure is to save a bunch of blank documents that can be opened to a cloud server so that they can be used later
Files stored in iCloud lose remote link when restored
When a file that's stored in iCloud gets moved out of local storage (automatically by the OS I assume), as indicated by the dotted cloud symbol, and then automatically restored (again by the OS I assume) when it is used, it loses the remote link information.
For example, I have a folder of files that is sourced from a SSH connection, stored in iCloud. All works fine, until iOS decides to clear space by removing some of these. They get restored automatically, so that's fine, but once that's done I can no longer upload/download because the link is gone.
Custom shortcut keys
I've seen other requests like "cmd + g" for 'Go To Line', and similar things. To me, that's wrong, and it should be "cmd + L" similar to most other IDEs. However, it would be nice if there were a shortcut/hot key area in settings where we could add and customize these at will. Some commonly used ones.
"Cmd + L" -> Go to Line Number
"Cmd + Shift + O" -> Quick open file name
"Cmd + F" -> Find
"Cmd + R" -> Replace (which could be reconfigured to Build/Run, for instance)
"Cmd + W" -> Close open file/tab
These are just some examples, but I think this could end up being a really powerful feature for users.
