Leave a Review The Text Editor
Maybe I’m stupid
But I cannot seem to select text- I did chance upon a select all command but couldn’t find it again- why don’t you include some instructions as to how to use this app? Also is there any form of margin control? My doc loaded nicely then expanded to the entire width of my screen, making reading more difficult.

A solid and well thought out new basic text editor
I'm always on the lookout for a new and better basic text editor. "The text editor" app is a good one. It supports text, rich text (RTF). Files created within the app are stored internally. That allows one to use a nice built-in search facility. However, this does cause one drawback: when you open a text file from iOS "files" and it loads in to "thetexteditor," you can only view the file. In order to edit a file, you'll need to open/create it directly from the app.
If you need to save the file to iCloud or somewhere else, you will need to use the share sheet function, which is prominently shown. The app supports basic functions like delete, rename and open from the three dot menu. The RTF capabilities are good and include image capabilities. What I really like is it doesn't limit you to only opening files with a .txt suffix. I was able to open up a large plain text “bookmark.HTML” file with this editor and it handled it flawlessly. The app evens lets you Zoom the text size in and out.
I am hoping the developer will add search and replace capability in a future release.Show lessinthesand

Is there any source of information on how to use this app? For instance if I create a new text file I cannot see how to rename the file from “untitled”.
I think I must be missing something basic.CSbgm

Thank you for your review. Yes you can rename the file from the menu button in the document explorer (The 3 dots to the right side of the image of the document)
