Strange auto-indent behavior after paste

Dan 4 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 4 years ago 2

I don’t know if it’s the language I’m using but if I have some code (soft indents)

if something

    Xyz

endif   


When I select the Xyz (cmd-left, shift-down), copy (Cmd-C), and paste it before the endif (down, up. Cmd-V) the code ends up looking like

if something

    Xyz

    Xyz

    endif

Is there any way to turn off auto-indent on paste?  This only happens if the end-of-line is selected which is really what I want and is easier to do rather than a shift-down, shift-left, Cmd-C, right, Cmd-V, return.

“Go Back” Keyboard Accelerator

Dan 4 years ago in iPad updated 4 years ago 1

I initially thought that “go back” was silly in text editors until I started using it in IntelliJ.  Now any time I hit Cmd-Up by mistake (say a Cmd-Left then up) I’m annoyed that Cmd-[ doesn’t put the cursor back to where it was.

Triple-Click & Drag

Glad that you have triple-click but I really miss being able to drag after a triple-click to select multiple lines.

Keyboard Accelerators for Find Next/Previous?

Dan 4 years ago in iPhone 0

Cmd-G/Cmd-Shift-G for find next/previous would be nice.  I’m having trouble learning Cmd-F Down Return.

Auto space before and after <= and >= in Swift code

Arne 4 years ago in General 0

At least in the compiler I am using now (and probably in general as I have seen this being described as an issue in some Swift forums) there must be a space before and after <= and >= (and I assume also < and >; == seem to work without in my compiler though). It would therefore be nice if the editor could automatically add a space before and after if you forget it.

This should also be part of the Prettify functionality I have just suggested.

Prettify

Arne 4 years ago in General 0

After copying code from somewhere else or making edits not handled by auto indents it would be nice to be able to activate a prettify function to indent marked or whole file. 

It should then be possible to configure your indenting preferences.

SSH Files not showing in folder

almarzouq 4 years ago in iPhone updated 4 years ago 2

I have an issue and I am not sure how to solve it. I have a py and js file saved in sub sub (many sub) folders. When I access it via SSH the py and js files do not show but other folders show.

Crystal support for .cr files. I was surprised to find this works in Working Cooy but not Textastic.

Preview in default browser

Albo P. Fossa 4 years ago in General updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 4 years ago 6

When I select Brave as my default browser and wish to preview an HTML file upon which I’m working, Textastic still offers only “Preview in Safari”. I suppose I can live with that: cosmetic. When I select it, however, this happens. An appropriate call to my default browser (Brave) occurs, but it yields a new blank tab, not the intended preview of a local file. Perhaps this is due to Brave’s over-protective nature. If not, it surely would be nice to be able to acquire a preview in ANY default browser.

My wishlist

Doug Dyer 4 years ago in iPad 0

Textastic is a must have app for anyone programming on an iPad which IMO is becooming a more widely used device for coding! I use Textastic just about daily for coding in javascript. I appreciate the opportunity here to re-iterate my two wish list items .

1. Enhancements to the symbol/ labels list to facilitate easy navigation in the code. For example being able to select three or more functions in the code that you can jump back and forth to to make trouble shooting easier. Maybe "pinning" them to the top of the list with the capability of tapping on each one to quickly go to that section of the code. Very useful for JavaScript's  multiple functions. Jump to line option in iOS native keyboard or by tapping the line numbers icon at the top of the Textastic tool bar would also be very helpful. (This is already available using an external keyboard 

2. Ready access to the Read Only switch on the visible tool bar, without having to dig deep in settings to make the switch. For those of us who 'fall asleep' while coding in the middle of the night, this would help prevent inadvertant un-intentional 'additions' to the code that can take hours to slueth out in trouble shooting why the code doesn't work anymore!


Alexander ddeserves many kudos and congrats for developing and continually updating the best code editor and IDE for programming on iOS. Well done and THANK YOU
