Frequently Asked Questions
Is Simpletext a single purchase for all devices?
Yes, Simpletext is available as a universal purchase, meaning you only have to buy it once to use it on all your devices. This includes Simpletext for the Mac, iPad and Phone.
What cloud services does Simpletext support?
Simpletext integrates seamlessly with the native file system, allowing you to use iCloud or any other cloud service to sync your files.
What file types does Simpletext support?
Simpletext can edit plain text files with extension .txt and .md. New files created have the default extension .txt.
Does Simpletext supports text formatting?
As a plain text editor, Simpletext doesn’t support text formatting. However, you can use Markdown punctuation characters to achieve the similar effects. For example, putting asterisks around a word will give it *emphasis*. Keep in mind that Simpletext doesn’t support inline Markdown preview, so words wrapped in asterisks will remain unchanged and won’t appear bolded.
What is the auto-hyphenation setting for?
Hyphenation refers to breaking up a word at the end of a line using a hyphen. When auto-hyphenation is enabled, the last word of a line will be split across two lines if needed to create a more even right edge of the text. If you prefer to have complete words, you can turn it off.
Are there any arrow buttons to move the cursor on the iPhone and iPad?
Simpletext offers an even more intuitive way to move the cursor — just swipe your finger along the keyboard bar where the word count is displayed. Give it a try, it works so smoothly you’ll wish Apple would implement it natively in iOS!
How do I undo or redo on the iPhone and iPad?
With the keyboard on screen, tap and hold anywhere with three fingers to reveal the text editing menu to undo, redo, cut, copy and paste. You can also swipe left with three fingers to undo, and swipe right to redo.
