It has code completion, syntax highlighting, symbol navigation, TextMate snippets and auto indentation. This is the code cutters editor of choice in my view.

The one weakness in Nebulous is that it doesn’t automatically sync with Dropbox or iCloud, it keeps a local copy of your file and I’ve been unable to figure out exactly when it decides to sync with the online file.

If you want to get really geeky then Nebulous’ latest update supports URLs in the iOS URL scheme so you can have Launch Center or bookmarklets do such things as open a file or add a line of text to the end of one.Īs well as Dropbox support it’s the only iPad editor I know that will save your document as a note in Evernote, extremely handy since I don’t really like the editor in the iPad Evernote app. My only request would be the ability to easily switch between a couple of custom rows - I’d like one for writing and one for coding.

The look is highly customizable with four themes and from there you can change colours, fonts and sizes.Įven the extra keyboard row is customizable with full macro support, these are real macros with support for cursor positioning not just text substitutions.

I don’t really use it that much, I’m much more likely to use either Nebulous or Textastic. It has a good range of export possibilities including the ability to copy a HTML conversion to the clipboard and email a number of formats. One neat trick I haven’t seen elsewhere are that the extra row keys include ‘(‘ and ‘[‘ but not the matching close, when you type the opening character the key changes to the matching close.įor file storage it supports both iCloud and Dropbox. The extra keys are optimised for typing Markdown syntax including a key for headings, inserting hyperlinks and creating lists. Like all good editors on the iPad it has an extra row of keys above the standard keyboard. Of course it supports Markdown well, including a good preview.

So here you have them all in the one post.īefore I start if you are already running one or two editors and you’re just looking for a good comparison list of iOS editors to find your perfect one (or you want to check all the features of the four I’ve reviewed below) Brett Terpstra recently crowd sourced the definitive list.
