; and : key placement

Robert Saccone 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 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 12 years ago in General • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 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 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!

Text area under keyboard

Wesley Penner 11 years ago in iPad • updated by Jens Greiner 2 months ago • 10
When my document gets longer than about 100 lines, the document won't scroll to the end, so the area where I want to add new text is blocked by the keyboard.

Rotating the screen  helps sometimes, but is inconsistent. Leaving the app helps sometimes. Copying the doc and pasting it back in helps sometimes. Sometimes none of these tricks work.

it is most likely to occur when leaving and returning to the app.

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?
