As stated on php.net:

echo is not actually a function (it is a language construct), so you are not required to use parentheses with it. echo (unlike some other language constructs) does not behave like a function, so it cannot always be used in the context of a function

Most code editors like Brackets, Dreamweaver and PhpStorm do not use parentheses with echo. Would be great if Textastic would do the same.

Could we have fixed width placeholders for the line and column numbers? Otherwise it gets pretty distracting.

Please add bookmarks (as in textmate) to make it easy to jump around in code and text

Please add a 'filter' option for the Folders tab. For example, I may wish to filter the view to find all files which contain 'x' in their filename,

Please add the option to choose whether results from Find are collapsed or expanded by default. Normally I just want to find whole files and not see each result within these files, but with the current implementation of Find I have to collapse all the results in order to see a clean list of files that I can work with.

Let me know,

Sometimes it worked but a lot of the time I get a spinning wheel and can't do anything with the app.

Are there any plans to add code completion for SQL?

My projects typically have symlinks to other folders. In Textastic, the symlinks show up (double clicking will open the folder in Finder), but text editors normally treat symlink folders as regular folders (can expand/collapse), but retain the 'alias' icon on the folder.

Currently, I'm having to open the symlinked folders in separate windows which is pretty cumbersome (especially when I'm working in splitview on el capitan with my text editor on one side and a web browser in the other).

There are many requests about crashes, for end-tag-marking and for printing.
