Pretend I’m an idiot when it comes to language syntaxes in editors. I understand that Textastic is customizable but I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around how to import/create a syntax.

I want to add Astro support to Textastic. They have language tools based on LSP (https://github.com/withastro/language-tools) but I don’t even know how to begin trying to integrate this into a syntax for Textastic.

Anyone have any examples of how they did this kind of thing from scratch?

Thanks.

I’ve seen some similar requests, but they seem to pertain to the file list, I’m really more interested in showing an asterisk or dot on dirty tabs that have not been saved. Maybe there’s already a way to enable this?

I did not see Kotlin in the list of languages. it is my understanding this language has been out for the past 7-8 years or so and is popular in Android development.

Are there any plans to add this template to Texttastic?

This is a fantastic app - thank you so much!

There is a bug that drives me mad, though, and it would be great if there were a fix. On my iPad, if I tap any key in the "normal" part of the keyboard (e.g. any letter), and then very quickly tap a key in the top row (e.g. " or '), then the second key tap doesn't insert the character, but instead the cursor jumps to where I just tapped, as if the top row of the keyboard has disappeared (though it hasn’t). This makes touch-typing with the on-screen keyboard extremely difficult, as key presses are missed and the cursor jumps around.

This bug is 100% repeatable for me, and happens in portrait and landscape (though it's much easier to see the issue in portrait). Load a document that is longer than one screen height and make sure it goes beyond the bottom of the screen, and type, say, f, quickly followed by “ in the top row. You should see the cursor jump to the position under the “ key, and without entering the “ character.

I’m on a standard iPad (5th gen) and iOS 15.1, but this has been happening since a bought Textastic a couple of years ago.

If you can repeat this issue, it would be wonderful to fix it.

I'm trying to connect to a server via ssh. I read that in a previous discussion it was said you needed to use PEM, so I generated the key as:

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 409

I did not put a passphrase on the keys, then transferred the files to Textastic on my iPad and put them under an ssh folder. I then added the public key to the authorized_keys file in my server. When I try to connect with ssh, it gives the error:

ERROR: Public key authentication failed: Invalid signature for supplied public key, or bad username/public key combination.

I am not sure why that is the case since I followed the instructions to have the key in PEM format, I double checked my username and it's correctly typed, and the host name is also correctly typed (when I normally ssh from my computer I use ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa username@hostname). Any help would be amazing.

Comments within MATLAB code (.m files) are not well-highlighted(or perhaps dimmed), or not detected at all.

I suppose comments within source code are better to be dimmed, having same colors.

Symbol % stands for the comment in MATLAB, however the app seems to ignore the comment and interpret as one of plain codes.

Thus when a quotation mark is included within comment, all codes thereafter are interpreted as string.

I have a iPad Air 4 running iOS 15.2. The Textastic app sometimes start up in a blank white screen. It would quite after a few seconds. The only way to get the app running properly again is to reboot the iPad. 

I have tried killing and restarting the app.

I use it on iPad Air and Smart Keyboard.

The environment is iPad OS 15.0.2 Textastic 9.7.2.

When I move the cursor with the cursor keys or tap the screen while inputting Japanese, the cursor sometimes disappears.

I don't know the location of the cursor, and the location of the cursor doesn't change in the first place.

It has happened in recent versions.

In addition, we have confirmed the occurrence on iOS 15.0.1.

Hello.

I have started using textastic.

This is really great app to work with, but I couldn’t figure out if there is function to autocomplete my self defined variables and functions.

I know there already exists a function to autocomplete standard functions, for example, 

when you type “func…” and then tap Tab key, there appears:
function name() {

}

or “al” and tab then alert( )

but for var someThing, or function someFunc(){},

even if you type “some…” it does not show option to select from “someThing” or ”someFunc”.

we usually use self stated variables and functions for many times, and each time we are anxious for mistyping.

And so basically superior code editor has a function to autocomplete those - often little bit lengthy - names.

I hope anyone tell me how to enable that functionality.

Thank you.
