There is one thing about the core functionality of this app that I don’t like: the way you edit remote files. Not that it needs to be as robust, but I did find with both apps that I was annoyed by a few things that TextMate does that these apps don’t do.
#Ipad textastic code#
This is where a lot of personal preference is going to come into play, because while the app allows you to use TextExpander and does code highlighting, it is still no where near as robust as TextMate. That’s the really great stuff, but the real question is not what is really great - no - it is always: how well does the app work. ((Though you should be passcode locking your iPad, you do that right?)) This is a great feature, almost a requirement at this point.
#Ipad textastic password#
You can set a password (not passcode) so that no other users can gain access to your server if they get a hold of your iPad. This is nice because it allows for quick access to a lot of keys, but it also takes a bit of getting used to since the keys that you want to access may not be where you expect them to be (given that they can be scrolled around).ģ. The odd part of this is that those keys can scroll right and left so that you can get access to even more keys. Quick access to most used keys above the standard keyboard.
The ability to highlight/select and entire line of code with one tap in the margin.Ģ. There are three really great features in Textastic:ġ. Of the two apps () ($9.99) offers the most basic iOS UI design and layout. I need an app that will allow me to connect to my server, edit CSS/PHP/HTML files and save/commit the changes to the server. My thinking is that if I can tweak the code here and there on my iPad, I can eventually take a trip with only my iPad and no worries about “what ifs”. ((Yes, when I see something not looking right I *really* like to be able to change it right away.)) Before we can get into the comparisons here is why I want such an app: for making quick CSS tweaks to this site when I am no where near my MacBook Air. However a few brave folks mentioned Koder.Īt first glance Koder caught my eye, but Textastic had such praise that I needed to buy and try them both. The overwhelming majority voted Textastic. Last week I asked on Twitter what everyone was using to edit code from FTP sites on their iPads.
