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.

Can you add some kind of AI integration like a Chat Agent.
Look at VSCode. it allows you to add CoPilot, Claude, Codex etc

Then we could set up a proper AI framework like OpenSpec?

This allows you to add Gemini level AI functionality that is correctly remembered and self updating.

Currently my work flow is;

Google AI mode -> TextTastic -> Working Code

The problem with using raw Google AI mode [Gemini] is that often your previous conversation gets too long and the context window crashes and you lose the entire conversation.

It only needs to be single agent driven, at the moment. Nothing too fancy. Just some way for an AI to traverse the project root and understand a project as it evolves. In this way, AI can add instruction files to every root folder. This acts like an index in a database. It tells the AI what this folder’s functionality & context within a larger application, is.

I was just looking at OpenSpec. Because it is a CLI that requires global node library installation, you may actually need to integrate OpenSpec into the App, itself. Obviously, iPhones cannot install NodeJs & Node libraries etc So there needs to be some deeper level integration, here.

IMHO, OpenSpec is currently the best & easiest AI spec framework, to work with.

This would be a massive win for TextTastic as a future proof, smart phone IDE.

Imagine being the only app in the world to have integrated a Spec framework, into its AI capabilities.

I have family sharing on iCloud enabled yet when my partner tries to sign in and restore purchase it simply will not work, enter password, and dialog box disappears. Can you please advise.

Thanks

Hello. Would you be able to add full support for TOML? It’s a files that is being used more and more to capture configurations as well as low level data and having support would be greatly appreciated
