Scenario:

So recently I've been (impatiently) tapping outside of the file transfer progress window while it is still in the process of uploading/downloading files. The window closes and I don't seem to be able to access it again but the transfer seems to complete in the background. I usually wait to verfy that the transfer is complete but I tried it once and it seemed to work so I've been doing it a lot lately. I also exit both the file transfer progress window (by tapping outside of it as I said) and immediately close the remote file transfer window my clicking the "Done" button and this doesn't seem to affect/interrupt the transfer. 

My question is:

1. Is this background transfer an intended feature or have I just gotten lucky and could potential screw myself over with larger transfers in the future?

2. Would it also be safe to exit the app while the transfer progress window is up?

I guess I also have an idea:

Would it be possible to have some visual confirmation, perhaps in notifications, or a recently transfered file list that verfies completed transfers. Right now, I've been anxiously  checking each file to make sure they are updated. 

Oh and Praises! 

One of the most used apps on my iPad for sure. It's been so freeing to not have to lug my big boy laptop everywhere. Thanks!

On iPad, when in text editor, the “new terminal” button is on the upper left corner, while in the terminal it is on the upper right, which is not very convenient. Could it be fixed somewhere forever?

I’ve had some issues editing projects that reside on my Mac using Textastic on iPad with the Mac folders mapped using Secure Shellfish. Specifically, I’ve had files get deleted when trying to move them to a new folder using Textastic (they get removed from A but never arrive in B), and also times when it doesn’t fully see moves that happened outside the app and so does weird things like recreate some of the no-longer present directories.

Just FYI because without Git, I would have definitely lost work because of it.

The Textastic folder on my iPad suddenly no longer exists. This must be somehow related to the upgrade to the new Textastic version. I already tried reinstalling Textastic again: I can open it, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the file manager. When I search for it, no result is displayed. Bummer.

I just started using Textastic, with the hope of using it to create, view and edit source files written in c with a .c file extension.  I have several such files stored in iCloud.  I can see the index for my files in iCloud, but Textastic won’t let me view those files, let alone edit them if they have a .c extension.  I thought textastic could be used for such files.  What am I missing or does the app not have that capability?

I don’t know if it’s the language I’m using but if I have some code (soft indents)

if something

    Xyz

endif   

When I select the Xyz (cmd-left, shift-down), copy (Cmd-C), and paste it before the endif (down, up. Cmd-V) the code ends up looking like

if something

    Xyz

    Xyz

    endif

Is there any way to turn off auto-indent on paste?  This only happens if the end-of-line is selected which is really what I want and is easier to do rather than a shift-down, shift-left, Cmd-C, right, Cmd-V, return.

I initially thought that “go back” was silly in text editors until I started using it in IntelliJ.  Now any time I hit Cmd-Up by mistake (say a Cmd-Left then up) I’m annoyed that Cmd-[ doesn’t put the cursor back to where it was.  

Glad that you have triple-click but I really miss being able to drag after a triple-click to select multiple lines.

Textastic is a must have app for anyone programming on an iPad which IMO is becooming a more widely used device for coding! I use Textastic just about daily for coding in javascript. I appreciate the opportunity here to re-iterate my two wish list items .

1. Enhancements to the symbol/ labels list to facilitate easy navigation in the code. For example being able to select three or more functions in the code that you can jump back and forth to to make trouble shooting easier. Maybe "pinning" them to the top of the list with the capability of tapping on each one to quickly go to that section of the code. Very useful for JavaScript's  multiple functions. Jump to line option in iOS native keyboard or by tapping the line numbers icon at the top of the Textastic tool bar would also be very helpful. (This is already available using an external keyboard 

2. Ready access to the Read Only switch on the visible tool bar, without having to dig deep in settings to make the switch. For those of us who 'fall asleep' while coding in the middle of the night, this would help prevent inadvertant un-intentional 'additions' to the code that can take hours to slueth out in trouble shooting why the code doesn't work anymore!

Alexander ddeserves many kudos and congrats for developing and continually updating the best code editor and IDE for programming on iOS. Well done and THANK YOU

Just tried to activateTextastic. Message saying it must be updated.

Only use it occasionally so don not know when it occurred.

My system is IOS 14.6.

How do I update? Has always been automatic for n (many) years)
