Please add dropbox connectivity, as well as Flex MXML support (can use the same syntax highlighting as HTML)

Dexidus 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • 1
Great product, but it would be nice if I could directly access files in my dropbox (edit/save directly in dropbox, without having to launch dropbox app, browse to file and open in textastic, rather browse dropbox account directly in textastic)

Also, it would be nice if you added native support for Flex 'MXML' files, the syntax can be relatively the same as HTML/xml/as with very minor modifications if any, however direct support for .mxml files would be great.

; and : key placement

Robert Saccone 13 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago • 1
For those us using Objective-C and C/C++ placing the ';' and ':' keys near the braces and bracket keys in the top row of the keyboard would make for better flow and productivity when typing.

Markdown definition lists

Brian Sniffen 13 years ago • updated by Myako Toudai 13 years ago • 2
MultiMarkdown, pandoc, and other markdown processors support definition lists in the style:

Term
: Definition, starting in the fourth column

I would love to hvae this added to textastic. Actually , since my workstation-side processing is in pandoc, I'd be thrilled to have perfect mimicry of pandoc-style markdown: footnotes, tables, DLs, math.

Textastic should know about Makefiles

Luke Vivier 11 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago • 0
It'd be nice to have syntax highlighting for Makefile, but more important, if soft tabs are enabled Textastic should disable them if a Makefile is being edited (Makefiles must use tabs for indentation). Sublime Text does this and it's a life saver.

Because I use Dropbox to sync my source and use FTP to deploy my code.

So I want to do it at once

Text navigation and selection by dragging finger using one navigation key

Milan 12 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 3

In a demo of http://www.becomekodiak.com I have seen a Navigation key on the keyboard row (confessed to be inspired by Textastic). I would guess that it was inspired from http://worqshop.com/ but I haven't seen Workshop in action. I find it quite handy, as it doesn't take much space and can be quicker than arrows.


How it works: you press the button and then drag your finger in a direction - mouse cursor moves. Than you press the button again and mouse cursor moves again, now selecting the text.

First line visible, go to top of the file

semiopat 11 years ago in iPad • updated by Kho Minh Vi 11 years ago • 4

Just an annoying behavior: when I open a file,  I can't  see the two first line, because of the bar that hides it. Something to do with that? And what is about the discussion of going up top, down end of the file, and on the beginning and the end of line?

However, thanks for your great job!

Why does Textastic remove three bytes from equivalent MS Notepad built text file? (Don't remove byte order mark (BOM) on save if it exists)

Jeff MacKinnon 10 years ago in General • updated by Bachsau 5 years ago • 8
I have a large text file (consisting of HTML and JavaScript) which was created with Windows Notepad using Unicode UTF-8 encoding, and then uploaded to my Web server. Textastic downloads it (via FTP), resulting in a file on my iPad of the exact same size as the original. Textastic reports it correctly as having Unicode (UTF-8) Encoding, Windows (CRLF) Line Endings, and HTML Syntax Definition.

However, once I force Textastic to save the file (by modifying one character, for example), the resulting file is three bytes shorter than the original. Visual inspection of the befoure-and-after files (in Notepad) reveals no differences (same number of lines, with an apparent carriage return / line feed after the last line.

Why? What three bytes are being removed from the file?
