Pretty darn cool app.

I bought Textastic but all of the fonts look just slightly blurry and bit larger than they need to be. It seems as if the app has not been updated for the iPad Pro yet. Could you please so I can take advantage of the size of the screen

When using the floating keyboard on iPad (the one that doesn’t cover 50% of your screen) the additional keys row covers all UI elements and input on the bottom of the screen which makes the app effectively unusable.

I would like to have support for the coloring syntax of this programming language (Interactive data Language) distributed by NV5 geospatial (file *.pro). Is it possible to include it in future version of the APP?

It would be nice to have code completion while editing tex files. Thank you.

I’m working on an HTML file, after changins some code, I preview the document, this works fine. But when I return to the editor, my cursos is lost, and the code editor has no focus, I have to tab the screen to regain coding abilities.

It't would be greate, if atfer openning the preview and close it, I could jus't keep coding.

My setup:

IPad

External bluetooth keyboard

Please consider adding tooltips to the toolbar buttons and such.

(using the Apple Magic Keyboard with Trackpad, the ‘Working Copy’ app has tooltips, very convenient…)

I‘m connecting via ssh to a linux server which has ruby running on it. If i want to go into the IRB shell of ruby, textastic hangs, it just shows a „triangle“ and completely hangs, I have to kill the ssh session to get out. Why does IRB not work when using it in textastic? I cannot understand...

On an iPad it is very easy to inadvertently add an unintended character from the keyboard into your code when scrolling through it debugging etc. When this happens and you miss it or are unaware it happened there is a ton of time wasted trying to find the aberrant character that has stopped your program running in its tracks. This can be solved by placing a Read Only 'switch' that is easily accessible at the top of the tool bar so you can switch edit ability and read only on and off as required, preventing unintended typos or character additions that mess up your program. This having happened to me many times causes me to write this urgent request. Having said this let me also say Textastic is Fantastic...coding on an iPad could almost not be done without it. Thanks for a great editor!

I’m using textastic alongside blink shell in split view and it looks like I can’t get back the focus to the textastic window by clicking into the textastic text zone. The caret moves where I click but the focus stays on the blink shell window. Works OK with another app like notes. ipados latest version.
