I initially thought that “go back” was silly in text editors until I started using it in IntelliJ.  Now any time I hit Cmd-Up by mistake (say a Cmd-Left then up) I’m annoyed that Cmd-[ doesn’t put the cursor back to where it was.  

Glad that you have triple-click but I really miss being able to drag after a triple-click to select multiple lines.

Textastic is a must have app for anyone programming on an iPad which IMO is becooming a more widely used device for coding! I use Textastic just about daily for coding in javascript. I appreciate the opportunity here to re-iterate my two wish list items .

1. Enhancements to the symbol/ labels list to facilitate easy navigation in the code. For example being able to select three or more functions in the code that you can jump back and forth to to make trouble shooting easier. Maybe "pinning" them to the top of the list with the capability of tapping on each one to quickly go to that section of the code. Very useful for JavaScript's  multiple functions. Jump to line option in iOS native keyboard or by tapping the line numbers icon at the top of the Textastic tool bar would also be very helpful. (This is already available using an external keyboard 

2. Ready access to the Read Only switch on the visible tool bar, without having to dig deep in settings to make the switch. For those of us who 'fall asleep' while coding in the middle of the night, this would help prevent inadvertant un-intentional 'additions' to the code that can take hours to slueth out in trouble shooting why the code doesn't work anymore!

Alexander ddeserves many kudos and congrats for developing and continually updating the best code editor and IDE for programming on iOS. Well done and THANK YOU

Just tried to activateTextastic. Message saying it must be updated.

Only use it occasionally so don not know when it occurred.

My system is IOS 14.6.

How do I update? Has always been automatic for n (many) years)

Are there any app with SFTP file provider extension that are compatible with Textastic besides Secure ShellFish?

I tried SFTP File Provider from Akos Polster, and FileBroswer, but both are greyed out when opening the Add External Folder panel. What makes them incompatible?

Thank you!

I have run into a strange issue. Regardless of what I open and from where, I cannot edit anything. Textastic opens the files, but it just does not respond to any keyboard input. The application itself is responsive (I can change settings, etc.), but all files are - sort of - readonly. It does not matter if those files come from external folders, are live files or “local” Textastic files. Tried restart, reinstall and did not help.

Example...

in Markdown:
[YouTube vid](https://www\.youtube\.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360)

if I try to open this in Safari or copy the link (from the Preview)... I get the following URL, which is malformed...

https://www/.youtube/.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360

there's several issues with that URL... first \. in the Markdown should become . in preview, but instead it becomes /.
also \- should become - and & should become & but both are left as is

as a test, the following 2 lines of Markdown will produce the identical string of output characters (although the second line will be wrapped in a "pre" tag), unless escaping is broken in which case the first line will have extra backslashes

\!\#\&\(\)\*\+\-\.\:\<\>\@\[\\\]\^\_\`\{\|\}\~\
``!#&()*+-.:<>@[\]^_`{|}~``

I saw the developer reply for this Feature for over 10 years and now still no this feature?

editor says: not valid file extension when i try to open from external icloud location.

In recent version (maybe 9.6~), Korean character at the first position of line suffers disassemble error. For example, when typing ‘강물’ (in order of ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ + ㅁ + ㅜ + ㄹ), Textastic force to represent ‘ㄱㅏㅇ물’. There is no way to assemble it; the only (temporary) solution is add a whitespace or other character before typing, and delete it later.
