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 12 years ago in iPad updated by Kho Minh Vi 12 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 6 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?

Themes: modifiable, or I’d like to suggest parts of one

fjpoblam 11 years ago in General updated 11 years ago 3
Suggestion: modifiable themes. Or if you don’t want to bother with that, I have a suggested theme. Why? On my laptop, my editor is BBEdit, and my suggestion will reflect what I’m using there. The goal is to make things easier to find while editing, while remaining somewhat subtle, less garish. The theme I’m using in Textastic is “Mac Classic”, which comes close to my needs. Here’s a description of my ideal theme, for just HTML and CSS. Colors approximate, shown as HTML web-safe names.
HTML:
Text, code punctuation, failed code—black;
tag names (e.g., “<a” of “<a href.…”)—mediumblue (#0000cd)
tag value names (e.g., “href" of “<a href=”)—darkblue (#00008b)
quoted tag values (e.g., “120” of “<img height='120'”)—green (#008000)
unquoted tag values (e.g., “120” of “<img height=120”)—purple (#800080)
entity names (e.g., “&”)—maroon (#800000)
comments (e.g., “<!--…-->”)—darkgray (#a9a9a9)
text and comments—font-weight:normal; else—font-weight:bold;
CSS:
element name (e.g., “p” of “p{color:black}”)—mediumblue (#0000cd)
element value name (e.g., “color” of “p{color:black}”)—darkblue (#00008b)
quoted element value (e.g. “Helvetica Neue” of “p{font-family:'Helvetica Neue'…})—green (#008000)
unquoted element element value (e.g.,“black” of “p{color:black}”)—purple (#800080)
special values (e.g.,“#000” of p{color:#000}”)—maroon (#800000)
comments (e.g., “/*…*/”)—darkgray (#a9a9a9)
failed code (e.g.,“p color: black”)—black
comments—font-weight:normal; else—font-weight:bold

Small selection bug with Find and Replace

Steven Lu 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1
This one should be pretty straightforward. I am replacing a 3 letter word with a 4 letter word and after replacing several instances within a selected area of text, that selected area has shifted (gotten smaller) by the same number of characters. You'll want to test it a bit with different lengths to see exactly what it's doing...

This picture should show you exactly what I'm talking about. http://stevenlu.net/files/12_4_24_screenshot.png

Relative path against a folder

Matteo Del Vecchio 13 years ago updated 13 years ago 3
When I use HTML and CSS files, I have to rewrite every path that is in code. Why don't you make every path relative to its super directory? That's what I mean: in the Files view, I create a new folder called Project, where I put every file that belongs to that project. Inside it I create and index.html file and a folder called "images". Now when I write the code I would like that paths should be written as /images/image.png instead of adding even the main folder name like /Projects/images/image.png
This would improve the user experience, I think.
