Support Coffeescript syntax highlighting and compilation

Martin Wawrusch 14 years ago 0 1 duplicate
Coffeescript (jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/) is a new language that is compiled on top of javascript and rubifies Javascript. It has disruptive potential, especially when combined with a javascript based webserver.
It would be great if syntax highlighting would be supported, even better if it was possible to compile and run coffeescript on the fly within the text editor.

Please can we have the ability to edit 2 or more files side by side? On iPad Pro this would work great.


Thanks

Will there be support for SFTP?

Answer
UPDATE: I finally received the necessary documents from the US government! SFTP will be in the next version of Textastic!


Previous Status was: Textastic 2.0 will have an FTP client. SFTP (a subsystem of ssh) is mostly working too already, but every app on the App Store has to respect US export laws regarding encryption algorithms.

This is what Apple says:
"Your application will be uploaded to an Apple server in the U.S., which means that your product will be exported from the U.S. and is captured by U.S. export laws. This requirement applies even if you only plan to distribute within your own country."

I've started the commodity classification request process but I can't release a version of Textastic with SFTP support before I receive the the required documents from the Bureau of Industry and Security (U.S. Department of Commerce). Unfortunately this can take a few weeks (hopefully not months).

Textastic on iOS 8 / iPhone 6 (plus)

Maurice Zoliker 11 years ago in iPhone updated by Steven Lu 10 years ago 16
Hello Alexander,

Are you planning to release an update to better support iOS 8?

The current version of Textastic seems to work on my brand new iPhone 6+, but I think it deserves an "optimized" version, to make the most of the extra pixels and extra screen surface :-).

Here are, in my opinion, some things that could be improved:
- Decrease font size/height in file-choosers, to be able to display more files
- Upper and lower menus could be made significantly smaller, to save valuable space
- Maybe have a landscape iPhone 6+ dedicated mode, with a mini file-chooser on the left and the edit pane on the right (like on the iPad version)
- In landscape mode, the extra icon line (above the keyboard) does not take all the available room, which could be improved either by adding extra icons, or by increasing their size (by the way, why not implement a fully customized keyboard, now that Apple accepts this?)
- In landscape mode, the file transfer screen could be made to fit entirely on one screen, especially on iPhone 6+

That's it for today, I hope this is not too much of a wishlist on a single message ;-).

Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,
Maurice

Format code option

Shae Strachan 14 years ago updated by pauuuuuuuuuuuuuu 6 months ago 12 1 duplicate
A lot of my code is minified and makes it almost impossible to read using this app.

I usually just use the code formatting option in dreamweaver then minifiy it when im done.

So, I guess I am requesting 2 options.

1. automatic code formatting

2. minify code option

Any chance of adding support for Dart? I understand that this is an Apple-centric app; just thought I'd ask

parinfer support for lisps

Wes M. 9 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 9 years ago 1

I realize this is probably a lot of work for a minority of users, but having parinfer support for Lisps (especially Clojure in my case) would make Textastic on iOS incredible. I could start using an iPad as my primary development environment.


I would happily contribute money towards this if it were possible to sponsor features.

Undo Needs a Persistent History

philmaker 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 7 months ago 10
I accidentally deleted the contents of a significant file - and then switched to another file. I lost the work in the first file because undo history resets when switching way from a file. Can undo support be more enduring?
