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

In various places in macOS, one can hold down the Option key and drag across a rectangular block of text to make a block text selection similar to how CTRL+V works in Vim to create a Visual Block. You may try this in Terminal or Sublime Text on your Mac to verify.

In Textastic, I would like to have the same Option-Drag feature to create Visual Blocks. It’s a super useful feature to have in a code editor. I apologise if this has already been implemented with some other key combination. If it is the latter, please let me know what that key combination is. 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…)

Please add Filebrowser integration to get access to more locations to work with.

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!
