Code coloration for es2015 javascript
It would be great to have syntax coloration for modern javascript (es2015

Adjustable line height
Hi,
It would be nice if we could adjust the line height. The current default line height seems a bit cramped and it would ease reading text if we could increase the height a bit.
Thanks!

No automatic syncing is easy to work around, but when you Upload This or Download Latest, you're firing blind — I propose a warning for when the file on-server has changed since download.
Add the ability to scroll beyond the last line
Notepad++, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the iOS Notes app all allow you to scroll beyond the end of a file. This means that you can always scroll so far down that the last line of the file is not at the very bottom of the screen.
Both of the following screenshots show a file/note containing the exact same text, scrolled as far down as possible. The line "7. Quail" is the very last line; there are zero empty lines after it in either screenshot. Notice how, in Textastic, you're cramped right up against the bottom of the editor. In the Notes app, however, you can continue scrolling for about another half screen before you can't scroll anymore, which allows you to work in the center of the screen even when writing at the very end of the file.
I think it would be nice if Textastic also had this feature. It doesn't need to be the only option, or the default option. Notepad++, for example, allows you to enable or disable this feature in its settings.


Typst syntax support?
Would you consider adding Typst language support for Textastic? It would be awesome!
Static caret support
Please provide an option for static (non-blinking) caret (text cursor) behavior in the code editor. Such an option has been generally implemented in iOS since iOS 18 (accessible in accessibility settings). I, and presumably others as well, find a blinking caret to be distracting.
Option to create SSH-Groups
A nice feature wich i would me wish is to create SSH or SFTP Groups. It is a little bit easier to manage a lot of connections.
More features for Textastic 10.7.x+
I have a few ideas, although I am not sure whether they are bugs or merely unimplemented.
First things first, function descriptors would be extremely nice. It'd make it a lot easier to use functions; i propose that they could be user-defined and/or built-in. something such as how VSCode does it would be amazing.
Second, I've noticed that imports don't have autocomplete, which is terrible. It's really frustrating to have modules in which you cant autocomplete the path to them (particularly namespace-style modules, accessed with the "@" symbol.).
Third, we need autocomplete/suggestions. It's so tedious to code without being able to see functions without typing them all out after looking in the relevant file (especially if they're from an external module, such as React.).
Also, if possible, it would be nice to have a way to customize the editor, such as something like style editing.
This lack of ease-of-use makes me, and probably people that think like me, want to either switch to another editor or make our own.
If needed, I can provide examples as well.
