Not saving changes in Mac OSX

Devesh Khanal 12 years ago updated by Delmar Stockwell 6 years ago 11
I'm having a recent problem where I'm updating HTML, looking at the page in a browser just fine. Then suddenly changes i start making aren't showing up in the browser. When I close Textastic and re-open it, I notice that the recent changes (the ones I did NOT see in the browser) are gone from the text. However, this seems to fix the problem in that I'm now able to make more edits and they start showing up and autosaving again.

Additional status bar elements; user configurable.

Alice Bevan-McGregor 12 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago 1

It'd be nice to have the option to add additional items to the status bar:


Caret / Selection


  • Column Index (0-based, not 1-based)
  • Character Index (literal file offset of cursor in raw encoded bytestring bytes)
  • Selection Length (in characters)
  • Syntax Highlighting Scope (i.e. "plain.text", or "python.source function.parameter.python.variable", etc.)
Counts
  • Line Count
  • Character Count
  • Word Count
Menus
  • Tab Size / Style
  • Line Endings
  • Current File Label / Most Recently Used (MRU) Menu (window-specific)
If the status bar was made from a toolbar using custom separator widgets (I like your separators a lot ;) that would give flexibility including left/right/center alignment, spacing, and separation as well as grouping, and simple plist serialization of the user's preference.  And yes, with absolutely everything enabled it can get kinda out-of-hand:

Yes, that's a status bar with everything enabled.  :P

copy paste with normal eol from any format win,*nix,win

Anton Vahčič 3 years ago 0

Can we get a function that will properly format the eol - end of line - no matter the original source of text - meaning - windows, linux, mac... Point is that often copy/paste between various programs - like browser, word editors, etc... when I copy to Textastic i lost all the line breaks. Notepad++ obviously knows how to it right, but it would help if Textastic can do it also.

macOS manual?

Emily 4 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 4 years ago 3

The link for the manual for the macOS version of Textastic has only one topic: "How can I add my own syntax definitions, themes and templates?". Is the manual broken or missing?

With JavaScript syntax is it possible to double click a bracket and find the matching open or close bracket?

Doug Lerner 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

I see if I open a bracket, the close bracket is added. But is it possible to check pairs by double-clicking on one to find the associated open or close bracket?

Support for diff of 2 files?

boak 6 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 6 years ago 1

One of the things I do most often is compare one file to another, side by side. Is that possible in Textastic? If not, are there any plans to add this functionality?
