What's New in Textastic Code Editor
10.5.1
December 6, 2024
Improved creation of new files:
- New files can now be created with just two taps: After tapping the “+” button, a file name is suggested (e.g. “Untitled.md”), which can be accepted directly with the “Create” button.
- The file extension can now optionally be selected from a menu. This menu can be customized via Settings -> New File.
- The preselected file extension can also be configured in settings.
Other improvements:
- Custom CSS for Markdown preview: Save your custom styles in the file “Local Files/#Textastic/markdown.css” and the web preview will use it when previewing Markdown files.
- Improved (S)FTP upload and download speed over fast network connections by using larger send and receive buffers.
- The Wi-Fi IP address for the WebDAV server is now determined in a different way. This should fix a rare problem where the WebDAV server could not be activated even though Wi-Fi was available.
- Fixed: custom CSS did not work for external files opened with the “Open…” command or shared via the Files app.
The latest version has broken text navigation using an external keyboard. I am using an iPhone with voiceover enabled.
Response from developer
I haven't changed anything regarding text navigation with an external keyboard in the latest update. Please try if a restart of your iPhone fixes the issue or contact support by email with more details so we can figure this out.
