Instead of the entire intervening text between the insertion point—or the current selection—and the line whose number is clicked or tapped on in the gutter while holding down shift, only that particular line is selected. The app actually tries to do the right thing at first, but then it glitches and selects just the one line.

When using Textastic for blog or social media posts in markdown it would be really helpful to be able to get a character count of selected text. 

Maybe add an AI that you can ask Questions about Code, that would make the App more beginner friendly and would make Code more understandable.

Textastic is a fantastic code editor. However, I’d like to be able to work on some of my android projects on the go using an iPad. TextAston doesn’t do anything for Kotlin (.kt) files. Would really love to see support for this in the future – would be extremely helpful since there are not really any options for android development on iPad at the moment. Thanks for all the work you’ve already put into this insanely great app!

Hi, I am a Textastic and Vim user.

I maintain my own vimrc on GitHub and use Textastic via WorkingCopy to edit it on iOS.

I have been using it for a long time and feel very comfortable with it. A slight gripe, however, is the lack of syntax highlighting in VimScript.

I would like to have syntax highlighting applied to *.vim and *.vimrc.

Thank you in advance.

PS: This sentence is using Deepl translation. Sorry if it's hard to understand.

Is it possible to do multi-caret editing - to make the same change in specific multiple places at once?

Great app!

console.log and for-of loop are missing in the code completion suggestion.
I’m going through the advent of code using JavaScript in Textastic 👍

While using the SSH terminal, to get the paste option you currently have to tap twice: the first tap dismisses the keyboard, and the second brings back the keyboard and shows the paste option. I would expect the first tap to bring up the paste option.

File Explorer is a great app that has Files app integration and it would be great if Textastic supported it like it does with Working Copy. This would allow mounting files on a remote server in FE and editing them in Textastic, among other things.
