Save file: Permission denied (wrong behavior)!
(Temporary Fix: just reopen the file to add code / changes!)
Error-message:
"The document “filename” could not be saved. You don’t have permission."
Steps I made to get the error:
1. Open Textastic
2. Press CMD + N to get a new window
3. Type some code
4. Press CMD + S to save
5. Now add some new code to the already written ..
6. Try to save again
The folders I was trying to save the file to was #1 desktop and #2 downloads, folders that belong to my user-account so I do have permission to them. :)
This problem should be fixed in Textastic 2.0 which is now available on the Mac App Store.
More Powerful Completion and Closing
I would love to see more powerful code completion.
For example, in HTML mode, when I type <div>
it should automagically insert a </div>
and place my cursor between them.
In CSS, it would be super if when I type a colon it would complete that with a semicolon. Or, when I type a curly bracket, it entered a closing bracket.
Or, when I'm writing Markdown it completed [
with []()
and placed my cursor inside the square brackets, much like Mou does.
Wordcount
It'd be nice to have wordcount support, especially for when writing in plain text/markdown.
More keyboard shortcuts
It would be nice to have more keyboard shortcuts that are found in other editors, like ^K to "Delete to End of Line", etc.
Quick navigation between (and within) files using the keyboard / Goto Anything / Open Quickly
The search should be fuzzy like Sublime Text or Alfred and should include the whole relative path from the base of the project rather than just the file name (many projects have duplicate filenames). Additionally hitting the shortcut without entering text would show you the most recent files accessed, again with the first (and most recent) selected. This allows you to quickly toggle between files or navigate to a different file with a few keypresses.
Bonus points for supporting navigating to a line number within that file e.g. line 34 by adding :34 to the end of your entry and for support in navigating to symbols within a file. This is basically the same sort of functionality available in Sublime Text and means that you don't have to keep switching between mouse and keyboard.
Open Terminal @ file's location
I love this app. It'd be even better if the OS X version could launch a terminal window @ the directory location of the current file. Just to take a few steps out of testing my code. :)
German translation
The iOS App is in German. It will be great if the App for Mac is it too.
Pressing enter inside a new block should automatically indent.
In C (and variants, i.e. JavaScript, Java, C++, Objective-C, …) typing an open curly brace, or in Python ending a block control statement line with a colon, or any other language-specific way of increasing block level then pressing enter should result in an automatically indented new line.
auto-complete words in all kinds of files
I would like auto-complete in all kinds of files like Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n in VIM. I miss this feature so much that I am still using VIM for all my coding works. But since I have purchased Textastic, I would like this on the development list~~ : )
