Superb on the iPad, but not quite ready for the laptop world

fjpoblam 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1

If you're trying to compete in the laptop world, you're up against masters like BBedit. A lofty goal. I bought Textastic for my MBP today mainly out of loyalty and curiosity. I *could* use it just for cloud purposes. But on the other hand, for cloud needs, really, FTP to and fro with my and clients' websites fits the ticket just as well. For now, my suggestion: just keep up the good work and focus on mobile performance, pards. Live long and prosper. \o/

Add support for ODB Editor Suite so Textastic can be used as an external editor.

Steven Sperra 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 1
Please implement Bare Bone's ODB Editor Suite, which allows Textastic to function as an external editor for apps like MarsEdit, Transmit, etc.

Reproducible beachball/crash whle editing

Rui Carmo 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 3
I'm getting repeated crashes when editing a Markdown file. If I have an existing fenced code block and try to add a comment (prefixed by "#"), Textastic beachballs instantly and I have to kill it.
```
# Crashes as soon as I type the "# <letter>"
```
I'm running the latest App Store version (Version 3.1 (28)) in Yosemite.

sticky css command

Andrew London 10 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 1

I don't know if I'm just being really stupid here but there doesn't seem to be "position: sticky" in the textastic css vocabulary. Is there? Or am I trying to go about sticky positioning in the wrong way?

Filter folder contents on opening

Paul Correa 12 years ago 0
Hi,

I just got textastic for mac after using the iPad version for a year. On opening a folder it would be nice if you could filter the contents so that only the source code files are displayed (in my case the .f03 files). It would be less cluttered and easier to find things in larger directories if all the object, module, etc files were not present. A great program and I look forward to improvements!

Plain Text & text navigation via Command+Arrows

Phil 13 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago 1

When using soft/word-wrap, it would be nice if text-navigation using the regular OS X short cuts worked in accordance to how the document appears, as opposed to how it's represented in the file. Example:


Image 38

I mean, yeah, it's probably only going to matter when someone is writing free-flowy-ish text as opposed to 'structured' / 'pretty' code. But, y'know.

follow symbolic links in Folders Sidebar

Robert Crooks 11 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 1
Since I mostly work on web projects stored in Github, I have them all sym-linked under the document root of my local web server. It would be nice if sym links were followed in the Sidebar, so that I could just open my doc root and work on multiple projects at once.
Not a must-have feature for me, but a very-nice-to-have. Putting this out there to see if others want it also.

Theme and font settings are lost

Alexander V. 12 years ago updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 8 years ago 4
Sometimes I start up an empty Textastic and the theme and font settings are set to default. So I need to reconfigure my settings. I was not able to recreate the problem or find out why it happens. :-/

Text highlighting

Tom Bajzek 12 years ago 0

Allow the use to highlight text with a choosable background color. This would help find things in widely separated areas of code.
