In order to achieve this, we would appreciate any and all feedback on challenges encountered when using Textastic.
Please also have a look at the manual.
Be sure to vote for the features you want to see implemented!
Highlight current line
Similar to Sublime text, it would be awesome to have an option highlight the current line of which the cursor is on (color would be based on the theme)
Autocomplete based on text in document
Similar to Sublime Text, it would be awesome if when you typed it would suggest/ autocomplete based on other words in the current document.
Code Minimap (syntax highlighting would be a bonus)
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 :)
WebDAV Server File Upload Feature Request
It would be great to be able to upload a file from another device to the Textastic App directly using the WebDAV server. FTP On The Go Pro has this feature but Textastic is a way better editor.
Thanks!

This is already possible if both devices are in the same Wifi network:
- on device A, start Textastic's WebDAV server: https://www.textasticapp.com/v6/manual/lessons/Starting_the_WebDAV-Server.html
- on device B, use Textastic's WebDAV client to connect to the WebDAV server on device A:
- tap on the file transfer button (globe icon)
- tap on the "+" button and choose "WebDAV Connection"
- enter the WebDAV url of device A and enter the user name and password
- tap Done
- connect to the WebDAV server and navigate to the target folder
- select the local files you want to upload
- tap the Upload button
I hope this helps
XML Namespaces and XSD Code Completion / Autocomplete
Scenario
Right now I am learning XML and trying to create a schema for Balsamiq (unofficial schema for my workflow), but I have to fire up VS 2012 RTM on my laptop and I need to constantly flip between a schema that works with intellisense and one that still has issues, not to mention having a tutorial page open to learn the specs. As I have described, you can imagine I have limited visibility of either schema, which means I need to constantly adjust the size of the window panes. This has another problem, there is no scrolling synch (unlike Word 2007-2013), which makes it extremely difficult to spot differences.
Why do I still use this method?
Intellisense is the reason, being allowed to reference known Schemas makes my job a little easier.
Suggestion
1. Add ability to reference Schemas, so that autocomplete works with XML and other XML related languages (XAML, YAML, XSL, XSLT, etc).
2. Add ability to store custom Schemas and reference them with other Schemas.
3. Implement a synchronized scrolling feature that allows users to spot differences between 2 documents (similar to the Notepad++ diff plugin or Word 2010 if you want to wait to add diff).

Please: Textastic for Windows
Open files directly over sftp with a live sftp browser. No syncing entire dirs!
Add markdown preview with custom css
Ability to move files on an FTP server from one directory to another
Currently, you can't move files on the server directly, but you can download files locally and then upload them to another directory. Add the ability to move files directly on the server without a download.
