I'm looking for a simple text editor that knows the difference between tab size and indent size and, ideally, can prefer tabs over spaces. ST2/3 and TextMate2 don't seem to be up to the task. Can Textastic do what I want?

Would it be possible to have an option to wrap lines where they started, like an outliner basically.

I know about the 'indent wrapped lines' option, it's basically what I'm looking for, but  without the additional indent part.

Many thanks for considering it.

Hello, It can be seen in the screenshot below that the Textastic icon is not as sharp as other apps like Atom, Sublime, VS Code and others.

I have a question in macOS textedit, if I hold the option button down my cursor will change to a cross and allow me to select text vertically.    As you can see in the screen.  When I try this in textastic, it highlights whole rows of text.

Many test editors have the option to "float on top" of other windows, very useful if you have some notes that you are referring to and want the Textastic window to remain in front.

Hi, I'm brand new to this editor to resurrect some old C coding from long time ago. (Just starting with it, but I like this editor very much too so far.) I'm finding here that if I accidentally type something into an old file I'm looking at,  and then close the window, it's saving what I typed!!! I want it to be asking to save, not automatically saving. For example here, I closed the window to discard anything I might have accidentally done to it. A global preference setting is needed to "ask to save".  I don't see anything in preferences for this right now. 

I have just started with Textastic and have a question about importing sublime syntax highlighting.

The majority oof my use of Textastic is in editing ABC notation music files. Syntax highlighting would be a very big benefit for me. I would like to import this from:

https://github.com/lewdlime/Sfortzando/blob/master/Syntaxes/ABC%20Notation.sublime-syntax

I have downloaded the file, placed it in ~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Textastic and restarted Textastic but it doesn't work.

Is this type of file supported in Textastic?

If not, are there any other suggestions as to how I might implement this? 

Hello,

I purchased Textastic for my Mac today as I find myself using the iPad version quite a lot. The issue I have encountered is that the file does not appear on my desktop application. Is this a non-existent feature? 

The app works well, I would have liked the option to customize

- open recently opened files when app launched

- show sidebar - I use sidebar almost all the time it would be great to either remember the last sidebar state or an option in the settings to show sidebar

You know, the 4D language, in English ?
