Extra row keys.

FurryFox23 3 years ago in iPhone updated 3 years ago 3

The extra row of keys get in the way of the better keyboard in textfinity which has all the same keys plus much more and has fast and precise positioning of the text cursor. Can you add the option to disable the extra keys above the keyboard on iOS like we can on iPad.

Terminal graphics protocol support

bunker formidler0d 3 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 3 years ago 1

Although Textastic is primarily a text editor, I think it is also the best terminal emulator for iOS and iPadOS. I often use Textastic to SSH into a Linux machine, and much of my work involves making image files. Ideally, I would be able to run a command like imcat on the Linux machine that would display an image in the Textastic terminal. I believe this would be possible in principle using the Terminal Graphics Protocol

I'd love to have a way to mark parts of the code for future reference.

I'd love to have a way to mark parts of the code for future reference, like highlighting words in an ebook reader. This would be useful when looking for bugs/parts of the code where there's room for improvement, to later fix the code on a PC.

Is there a way to turn off fuzzy searching

tyury 3 years ago in iPad updated 3 years ago 10

Is there a way to turn off fuzzy searching? It makes my search inaccurate. 

Also I don't want to search the subfolders(too many files ). Can I turn that off manually?

Syntax additions - converting vscode extensions?

Scott Willsey 3 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 3 years ago 2

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.

Show a dirty file indicator in tab

Eric 3 years ago in iPad 0

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?

Support for Kotlin?

Emily 3 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 3 years ago 1

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?

Top row of on-screen keyboard fails to work when typing fast

Mark 3 years ago in iPad updated 3 years ago 2

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.
