It would be really usefull to highlight every occurrences of the currently selected word (a la Eclispe for example).

The growing adoption of Textastic brings new opportunities for applications in general writing.

The auto-correction option in Textastic allows the user to use the iOS spelling suggestions above the embedded keyboard, but greater functionality can be leveraged from the iOS spelling checker.

The idea: include the red underlined mark from the iOS spelling checker into the text editor when the auto-correct option is activated (or with an additional setting).

The benefit: Textastic would significantly enhance the functionality for users of plain text, latex files, taskpaper files, among others.

I would love to see a code minimap with syntax highlighting support make its way to Textastic especially for use on my iPad Pro 12.9inch 2nd-gen.

This will bring your app one step closer to desktop counterparts (Atom, Sublime, Visual Studio Code, etc.) and I’m sure will make a lot of power users who wish to stay mobile very happy :)

thanks for this app! are there any plans for syntax highlighting for taskpaper? would be perfect working on files from taskpaper mobile. 

I am wondering whether it would be possible to use the app Anyfont to add custom fonts on iOS that Textastic could use. According to the Anyfont app description: "With AnyFont you can install additional fonts on your device which can then be used by other apps which make use of the device's font book."

Does Textastic use the device's font book?

If you could add the ability to compile and run code that would be awesome. That is the only thing holding this app back. I'm sure Apple makes this difficult if not impossible so if it isn't possible then thats okay. Love the app!

Hi,

Since there is already the option to sync remote files to a local device, is it possible to add the option to ssh into a remote folder and edit those files directly?

It would be awesome if the current SSH options stay they way they are, so you can run shell commands on the server, but in addition to be able to edit files without having to sync them first.

Thanks :-)

I would love to see Multicursor functionality similar to the one available in Sublime, Atom or VSCode. They improve productivity a lot and save a lot of double/triple typing or search and replace processes.

The new Files app in iOS is the all-in-one place for file managers and it’d make it really easy to transfer files.
