HTML Form input type attribute autofocus does not work in Preview
But if I choose your option to preview in Safari, it works correctly.
I can’t post the code here because it’s an HTML form code example in the HTML Tutorial on W3Schools.com
But here’s a link to the code example, under Try it Yourself>>
Curiously, their Radio Button example included extra characters on each side of the radio buttons, so I added the missing <meta charset=“UTF-8”> tag and that “fixed” it.
The first thing I tried with this Preview issue, was add the <meta charset=“UTF-8 lang=EN-US” and it made no difference.
I added the missing <head> and <title> tags, too, but still the input type autofocus attribute did not work in Preview.
A minor surprise, I’ll call this finding, but certainly not a show stopper. 🤔 😎
Textastic interface is very accomodting
To the Developer,
I’m using Textastic everyday on an iPad. The layout of the interface, and how it works, is great!
Here’s what I’ve come to appreciate while working on Textastic all day:
1. When adding code files. the list of filenames scrolls to keep my filenames in the center of the list.
2. The + in the lower left to add new files is very convenient.
3. The keyboard shortcuts, such as:
a. Cmd option p to toggle back and forth between output and the code editor.
b. Cmd B to open and close the sidebar.
Those are just a few of things which save me time and make Textastic easy to use.
It’s obvious to me that a lot of thought—and probably listening to feedback—went into the interface.
The more I use this app, the more impressed with it. It is so accomodating—it’s a programmer’s dream editor.
Thank you, Alexander Blach, once again!! Your app and your code is really good, excellent even!
Sincerely,
John
Cannot find file
Hello,
I have connected to a samba server file where my live files are that host my Wiki. I have opened the files with Textastic and the files keep displaying and then disappearing and then when editing files it comes up saying that it doesn’t exist and then 3 seconds later it will show. It’s like it is refreshing every 5 seconds, loosing connection. I hoped it saved and lost all progress on the page.
Tap GCC error in terminal -> jump to line
Hi, love the app, one feature request that seems obvious to me and would turn Textastic into a fantastic mobile mini-IDE: it would be great if GCC error output in file:line:column format (as in below) in the Textastic Terminal was tappable to instantly jump to the given line and file, provided that a file with the same name is already open in a Textastic tab.

Is there a way to load script files located in a different directories
Just wondering if you support loading JavaScript files that are not located in the same folder as the html file?
I have the following folder structure…
Textastic/Library
Textastic/Filters
Textastic/CanvasPlay
the html file in CanvasPlay includes the following script files..
../Library/script.js
../Filters/script.js
script.js
script.js loads, but not the other files.
am I missing something, or does your viewer not support this?
Apple Intelligence for Textastic would be Fantastic!
Hi Alexander,
Can we have Apple Intelligence for us folks who use Textastic as a documentation tool. I use .txt files extensively and think it would be great to be able to use those AI tools.
Best,
Tom
How to edit files (e.g. .txt) from the Files app directly in Textastic
Klicking on a .txt file opens this file in the Readdle Documents app. Is there a way to open it automatically in Textastic?
Unwrap individual tabs
Hi Alexander,
Can we have the ability to unwrap individual tabs? When I'm on the iPad and I have split view with the 1/3 split on the right, I'd like to not have that page/tab word wrapped. But I'd like to keep the larger left split wrapped.
Thanks!
Tom
