Hi thank you for including Emmets into the new version it's works great the way you designed it. I was wondering if you included a way to select edit points and items to make it easy to select tags and move to edit points so you can delete or change surrounding tags. The emmet's version in notepad++ has this capability and makes it very easy for me to update and change code. If this is not included can I make a request for a feature if that is possible to do on a mobile device? I use an external Logitech keyboard k480 and it works great so far with textstatic

99.9% of the time, I love having the warnings for up/download set to "always" not prompt. Then 1 time in 1000, I bump "download" instead of "upload", frantically hit "cancel", and am always too late (at 'best', I end up with a partial download), and say goodbye permanently to whatever I had done.

If the entire contents of the file could be put into the undo history as the 'previous step' to downloading, then in this situation I could just hit undo and all would be good. This would be incredibly useful in those terrible accidental touch situations.

(It would be nice if the entire undo history was also preserved, but just getting the previous version of the complete file would be enough).

If a filename ends in .jags or .bugs, please use R syntax highlighting (instead of plain text). These files indicate Bayesian statistical models, and their syntax matches R syntax. No new programming to support this language is required -- just matching the extension to R syntax would be great! Thanks

I'd love a way of saving multiple versions of a document more easily and safely. Firstly, a no-overwrite lock would be good, so that all edits write to a new _copy_ of an existing document, to save me from myself so I don't overwrite existing work. Secondly either an easier SaveAs or an easier way of making a copy of a doc before I start editing, preferably by creating a writeable copy of a file that uses a filename that is version number suffixed or date suffixed, something like either

mydoc.txt;3 mydoc,txt;4 - (VAX/VMS-style), or

mydoc-2016-12-01.txt or

./2016-12-01/mydoc.txt

To minimize navigation it would be nice if the editor opened the closest html-file when previewing a javascript file.

Hi,

I used v5 on iPad for a long time and I remember a very responsive start of Textastic even having a lot of files on iCloud. V6 however takes several seconds on a lot (not all) starts of the app showing a wating cursor and then popping up with iCloud folder on left hand side.

Is this expected and tolerated design? Is it possible to speed things up like it was in former version?

If it's not possible to speed up, I'd like to see the former version of Textastic to be downloadable from app store side by side with the new one. You may increase the price for the old one to a ridiculous price (999 Euros) to prevent new user to buy it.

Looking forward to your answer

TBH, this idea is just for fun. I thought it would pretty cool that if we could code our own games with Textastic and play it both on the app and widget. Now, the widget would have its own settings in the app. The user can enable controls to include in the widget such as left, right, up, down, jump and etc.. That way, easier for making simple games without worrying about controls. Again, this idea is just for fun.

In using the Shell language (bash and others though we use Korn mainly, I have found several common UNIX commands that aren't highlighted via syntax highlighting. I'm sure there are more, but those I noticed are:

ls

cat

touch

cut

tail

head

mail

print

grep

cp

mv

rm

mkdir

rmdir

chmod

function

whence

One way to verify more of them would be to look at the Notepad++ free editor, which has that language and the keywords could be pulled from its lists.
