Open program to new document option

jeffkeller529 3 years ago updated by Darrell 2 weeks ago 3

Hi, would like to have the option to have Textastic open to a blank new file. Either way, love the program. Thank you for considering this feature.

I would like this too. I know that if I close it while there's an "untitled" document open, the next time i startup Textastic, it will open up with an "untiltled" document. However, I would like to have the option to start with a blank "untitled" document on start, if all files were closed when the application itself was last closed.

This is already possible:

In Terminal, use this command to open an an untitled file instead of the open panel on launch of Textastic:

defaults write com.textasticapp.textastic-mac NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile -bool false

To revert:

defaults delete com.textasticapp.textastic-mac NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile

To do this globally for all document-based apps including TextEdit, Pages, etc.:

defaults write -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile -bool false

Revert:

defaults delete -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile

Oh, awesome! Thank you.


It would still be nice to just have this be a checkbox in the setting as opposed to having to open up the terminal and type the command.
