Are there any great text editors for iOS?
The best one I've found thus far is Code Anywhere. It's able to open from and save to Dropbox, plus numerous other locations. It also has syntax highlighting for a lot of languages.
Cons are that it has numerous bugs and was last updated in 2014.
I'm wondering if there's any better text editors for iOS out there, and if not, why not?
A short list of features I would want:
- Automatic syntax highlighting (Code Anywhere requires you to manually select the language for each file, and it never remembers what you previously set).
- Connect with Dropbox (other sources would be awesome, too).
- Automatic insert of closing braces and quotes.
- Line numbers.
- Smart, automatic indentation.
- Multiple selection.
Is anyone aware of anything with any of these features beyond connecting with Dropbox (I know plenty of lousy editors that do that.)
Oh... Actually... Just check this table here:
