Disable “Overwrite” dialogue box!
I hate clicking it every time I upload one or more files! And no, your “new” upload to.. doesn’t save any extra time, nor do I ever use it.
Is there a way to stop Textastic from stripping Carriage Returns out of text pasted into Gmail ?
- type a multi line note
- select everything
- Copy
- Paste into Gmail app
All line breaks are lost.
"Select Folder" list is empty during "move" folder
During Edit in left pane, selecting folder works properly, nd selecting "move" folder icon correctly open new pane with "select folder" heading. But pane is empty...not folders listed.
Offloading and reinstalling app did not fix.
How to fix?
Support using Alt as Meta key in SSH terminal
In the macOS terminal, enabling the "Use Option as Meta key" option allows using a number of shortcuts to edit a command. For example, you can press Option + F to move forward by a word, Option + B to move back by a word, Option + Delete to delete a word and so on. There's no option in Textastic's SSH terminal to use Option as Meta key. instead, for example, pressing Option + F enters ƒ rather than moving forward by a word; ditto for other Option shortcuts.
The ask is for Textastic to offer a setting that will enable using Option as Meta key in the SSH terminal.
Add Copy with Edit -> Select -> Move
In the Edit -> Select -> Move action please add a Copy option as well.
It would help a lot.
Tap to follow links and includes (MediaWiki, et-al)
I've been using Textastic + Working Copy as my personal notes app on iOS for a couple of months, on my desktop pc I edit my files in neovim and use vimwiki. Syntax support is close to MediaWiki, but any additional syntax support would be awesome as well.
My main suggestion: I was wondering if following links could be added. Feature might need some tweaking to not introduce unexpected behaviour, so maybe a second tap to confirm a link follow. This feature could also be extended to html, including opening associated css and other linked content, and while I think about it, source code includes and imports like include "code.h" and import banana, or from banana import skin. Some links might need hints to follow links, for example MediaWiki links would not include the .wiki extension; Python could be interesting in searching for banana.py and banana/__init__.py.
I would think in most cases only the text that applies to the linking would be active, like code.h and banana in the above examples. UI clues could just be an underline of some type. When a link can't be followed, I would think the software simply doing nothing (other than potentially adjusting the cursor location) and not notifying the user is better.
Linking it external content, like triggering a web browser is in the realm of nice to have; and also recognising a URI and triggering from there could also be useful.
Support for downloading and viewing files beginning with a dot
Textastic doesn't view files that begin with a dot.
Also if I download 2 files with the same name that both start with a dot, upon attemtping to view (or edit) the second file, it goes back to trying to edit the first file.
