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.

Hello, I like Textastic on my iPad I have just updated it for the code editor 9 !

Please, could you think to add an action in the share context menu on iPad  (like QuickEdit for Kodex editor app)

Thank you

Requested Feature:Ability to 'pin' labels or functions in the functions 'list' and have them listed at the top to make it easier to jump back and forth in your code, and a 'trace' capability so you can follow the course of the code to make troubleshootinG easier. Thanks for a great app! Brcause of Textastic you can code on an iPad without having to resort to that old clunky desktop computer!

Running scrupulously updated Textastic, landscape mode, iOS 13.4.1. I can’t see, much less edit, the last few (say, five) lines of a file: they are hidden behind the keyboard. At best, I may sometimes proceed to portrait mode (and if needed pinch to shrink the display) to acquire the needed result. Not satisfactory!

Although Textastic supports old style Sublime editor themes, it seems to lack support for the newer .sublime-theme format. As far as I know, the .sublime-color-scheme is for the rest of the app UI beyond the editor and may be fairly specific to Sublime. Still it might contain useful information for addressing my other feature request.

It’d be nice if the UI elements that come in blue, dark, or light could match their colors to whatever editor theme the user installs and selects, like Sublime. The editor theme support (eg., TextMate/Sublime themes) for Textastic is good, but I feel limited in which themes I can actually use because of the jarring mismatch between the Textastic app UI and many editor themes.  Speaking as an iOS (iPad) user.

I would love to have my included PHP files render when I preview a page.  I keep my header, navigation, and footer content in separate pages.  When I am working on a content page, I include these files to make development more modular.  However, when I preview a page with the includes, only the content in the active page renders, not the included content.  Can this functionality be added?  Thanks for an amazing product! :)

As it is now, you can select files and folders by tapping on each one of them individually in the list. Suppose you have 25 files you want to move to a different folder. That’s a lot of tapping.

A “select all”, “unselect all” set of options would make things a lot easier.
