Undo Needs a Persistent History

philmaker 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 9 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?

Bookmarks

Hineynu 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 5 2 duplicates
Clicking the line number would add a bookmark to that line (visible by highlighting the line number somehow). Then a keyboard shortcut or popup window (maybe a couple icons added to the Line Number and Column number window?) would be used for navigating to First, Previous, Next, or Last bookmark (or just Previous and Next if there is not enough screen for four buttons). These icons could be hidden if there are no bookmarks in the open file. Clicking on the line number of a bookmarked line would remove the bookmark from the line.

Sergey Stukov 15 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 3
And return to it when switching between files

When editing i usually switch between two or more files and it will be great if cursor will stay on previous position when switching
Version 1.1
Answer
The cursor position (selected range) is now saved - even between app launches.

Will be available in the next release.

iOS 4.2 multitasking support

Gabriel Visser 15 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 15 years ago 4
Add iOS 4.2 fast app switching, background saving (and future uploading/downloading?) support.

4.2 is due until next month, but it doesn't hurt to already implement it. Also, I'm already on the beta. ;)

Find or highlight matching brace/parens/brackets

Bob Beaty 5 years ago in General updated by Jose Ardila 4 weeks ago 4

I just got Textastic for my iPad, and I have to say it's pretty great - it even handles Clojure - my language of choice... and the Automatic brace/brackets is a great feature, but with Clojure, it'd be great if there were a key that allowed me to Jump to the balanced partner of a brace {}, or paren (), or bracket []. This has the effect of "bouncing" between two points in the code - the start, and the end, of the pairings. It's very useful for languages like Clojure where there are a lot of parens...

This is very useful in Vi and Sublime Text 2/3, and a lot of other editors... and I'd really love for it to be added to Textastic for iOS/iPadOS.

Ask the user for password when connecting to an (S)FTP server instead of saving it in the connection's settings

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago updated 6 years ago 7 1 duplicate
For security reasons, some people don't want to save passwords for connections on their mobile device.

Instead, Textastic should present the user with a login dialog to enter user name and password when it is first trying to connect to a server.
