I know there are examples for custom completion files, but somehow I just don't get it. I would really like code completion for LaTeX on my iPad, so I copied one of the example files, generated a new uuid on my MacBook using uuidgen and changed some stuff around, then uploaded the file to my iPad and restarted Textastic, but the code completion window won't show up. I feel like my main problem is the pattern in the context part of the file. Which kind of regex does Textastic use? Textmate uses Oniguruma Regular Expressions, does Textastic, too? Also, what happens if the regex matches/does not match?

I thought it should be fairly easy to create those files, but unfortunately the git repository has not been updated for almost a year and the file format is not documented :( Help is greatly apreciated!

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

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.

Would you consider adding Typst language support for Textastic? It would be awesome!

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.

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.

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.
