Is it hard to implement a key mapping of some kind?

dimulec 10 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago • 1
Unfortunately, most of my editing is done on PC and I am used to PC keyboard layout. Even more - I am using Synergy to switch between MAC and PCs. And I am using a PC full size keyboard. So, typing without looking on the keyboard is kinda hard in this editor. Especially annoying are HOME and END keys. Just imagine - to insert a new line my fingers automatically press END-ENTER and then I just start typing. Only to find out that the original line is now split in 2 and I am typing in the middle.

Btw, everything else is perfect. If I only could redefine just those 2 keys (HOME and END)...

TOC for Markdown

David Loeffler 12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 2

If I use --- or === then the header does not show up in the TOC, but the headers I start with # do.  For Markdown the headers underlined with dashes or equal signs should be included in the TOC.

Incremental find/select selection

handycam 10 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago • 1
As in Sublime and Brackets.  In Sublime: select a word or other selection.  Choose command-D to select next instance.  Command-D again to select next, etc., etc. or Control-Cmd-G to select ALL matches.  You can then edit all selected instances.

Add documentation or help on using new iCloud Drive feature - or redo it

DKinAA 10 years ago • updated by Jason 8 years ago • 2
I can't find any anywhere, even in the very sparse manual, and the interface is very confusing- I can't even tell whether it is possible to move or upload a file to iCloud Drive. If this isn't supported, I suggest that the feature needs a redesign.

At the top of the file navigation hierarchy in Textastic you can choose between "Local Files" and "iCloud".

Files in "Local Files" are stored on the local file system and are not automatically synced.

The "iCloud" option corresponds to the "Textastic" folder/container in iCloud Drive. Currently, you cannot send files to another iCloud Drive folder from within Textastic.

You can use the "Open…" command and choose "iCloud Drive" to open a file from any folder in iCloud Drive and edit the file in-place. Files opened in this way do have some limitations though: through the iOS sandboxing system, Textastic only gets access to this single file and not to the whole folder. So, if you do a web preview for example, the web view cannot access other referenced files like images or CSS files in the same folder.

Emmet has broken Emacs style keys - ^A and ^E for start of line and end of line

Is there anyway to get this functionality back when working on a MD(markdown) file?
Answer

You are right, the standard Emmet keyboard shortcuts conflict with emacs commands.

As a workaround, you can go to your Mac's System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts and override the standard shortcuts for those two commands with other shortcuts. Here are screenshots of how this might look:





If you do this, you can use ctrl+a and ctrl+e as you are used to.

Crash on creating new file

Key 12 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 1

The app just randomly started crashing when I try to create a new file. It started after I tried to create a new Textastic template using the steps in the manual. I'm not sure if that's the exact reason it is now happening or not. It still allows me to open files, but crashes when creating any new file. Is there a debug file I can send to help with finding the problem?

Adds quarantine on save

mxey 12 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 1

When editing an executable .command file (shell scripts that runs in a Terminal window), Textastic for Mac adds the com.apple.quarantine attribute to the file on save. That means I can no longer execute my own script, or even edit with Textastic again, because I get the Gatekeeper error message that it's not signed. Removing the attribute with xattr fixes the issue.

This should be fixed in Textastic 2.0.

Feature Requests

Mark Simon 12 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 12 years ago • 3

I am enjoying this app very much, but I have a few requests:

  • Is it possible to show the full path name in the window title? This is useful  when editing documents in different locations, especially if they have the same name.
  • Can we have a text zoom, either via the mouse (command-scroll) or with keyboard short cuts, or even with buttons?
  • Can we optionally limit the list of languages. As a web developer, there are only about a dozen I need to work with, so I would like to filter out the rest.

Thanks

Mark
