JavaScript based extensions

Florian Voigt 14 years ago updated by Matt Apperson 6 years ago 2
Another feature I'd love to see is JavaScript based extensions similar to what iCab does on the iPad.

It would allow automatic manipulation of the files store in Textastic, to say, external processing on websites or uploading it to build services.

Find or highlight matching brace/parens/brackets

Bob Beaty 4 years ago in General updated by Simon Tokumine 4 years ago 3

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.

Filter / exclude files to download

Hector A Centeno 13 years ago updated by Haralds Egliens 10 years ago 6 2 duplicates
When I connect to my local FTP server I get into my checkout folder (using subversion) when I download the folder I get all .svn folders (I know git does something similar) it would be nice to configure the FTP to do not download the control version related files. Transmit for Mac has this characteristic.

Pin Code/Password to start App

wenninger 14 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 17 4 duplicates
As Textastic allows for the storage of Server / Dropbox credentials it would be nice to have the option to require a PIN code for starting the app. If your iPad gets stolen the bad guys cannot easily access all your or even worst case your customers' servers.
Answer
Added in Textastic 2.2.

A way to sync with the server to download only the changed files not the whole project

hassan habbak 13 years ago updated by Marc 7 years ago 4
I would like a way to sync with servers and have it automatically update files and download files that have been changed. It is crucial for collaboration and even testing on the iPad.

Add Split View to View Design and Code Side by Side

Andrew Dickens 11 years ago in iPad updated by Neo Ighodaro 4 years ago 7

As a web developer, I would love to see a feature in the next future update that adds a "split view" so that I can see the design of the website on one side while I code it on the other.  I use Adobe Dreamweaver on my Mac and it has a feature like this.  I use Textastic when coding from my iPad and I would love to see a feature like this.

Rendering PHP code

Nathan Boyd 12 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 7 years ago 10 3 duplicates

I downloaded this app as I'm learning PHP coding. Although I think this app is really useful, the fact that it cannot render PHP code correctly is disappointing. Is this going to be fixed anytime soon?
