Thanks,

Use the WebDAV server. This is essentially a lighttpd web server with WebDAV extensions.

Search Google (alternately using highlighted text)
I am constantly looking-up functions or doing research while coding.
Suggest (in the style of the new feature for in-app previewing of HTML files) to support the following:
- When text is highlighted, button on the contextual popups to search for text at Google (yahoo, bing, etc....I'm happy with google alone); should be sensitive to the amount of text selected -- more than a half dozen tokens doesn't make sense for a search engine lookup.
Editor window would flip from code view to UIWebView and performs the search.
- Alternately, with no code highlighted, ability to pull up Google search page and enter a manual search.
- State should be maintained in the WebView so that I have access to the browser pane's history (go back at least), and when switching to the webview, it's exactly where I left it when last viewed.
- If file being viewed is PHP code, offer "lookup in PHP documentation". Similar support for other languages as appropriate.

I know VB is supported, but what about vbs (Visual Basic Script)
I work tons with Visual Basic Scripts, and it would be great to have the syntax and reserved words highlighted like in VB

Git repository on WebDAV volume
In order to manage code editing and synchronization of my iPad, I tried to install a Git repo on the Textastic folder, when mounted on my Mac through WebDAV. It works pretty well, but still there are difficulties. In particular, it keeps on saying:
"Unable to create '/Volumes/10.0.1.9/.../.git/index.lock': File exists.". Any idea?
"Unable to create '/Volumes/10.0.1.9/.../.git/index.lock': File exists.". Any idea?

Remotely execute code via Heroku
This is similar the Remote source code compilation idea, but instead of ideone, it would use Heroku. Heroku currently supports Ruby, Javascript, Python, Java (so any language on the JVM like jRuby and Clojure).
Once you have the git integration done, deploying to Heroku should be as simple as a git push command. You could even use the "heroku run bash" as a remote terminal window for your code or "heroku run <insert script name>" and pipe the output to the iPad.
Users could setup their own Heroku account and Textastic could add a Heroku API Key config. That way each user will pay for their own usage.

sftp public key should ask for password
The whole point in having a ssh private key encrypted with a password is that its not revealed when the file is exposed.
Since I have to store the key ipassword in the connection my iPad has the key and the password stored.
I'f I let the password field empty I'd expect that I would be asked for the key password when connecting, but what happens is that the connection doesn't work.
If his feature is added, having configurable flags when the key will be forgotten would be great, e.g. when app is backgrounded, on screen lock, after configurable timeout separately configurable would be very nice.
Currently I have to remove all passwords from all used sftp connections after use which is a bit of a nuisance and also error prone.

Search for a file by name
Hi there,
Love the app! use it for coding, objective-c, websites etc.
Also, keep all my bass tabs in in txt files in folders coded A to Z by artist, the syntax coloring make the tabs so easy to read; however, sometimes I can't remember the name of the song but not the artist.
How can search for the the name or part of the name of a txt file? This isn't super urgent, but would be useful, I have about 350 bass tabs (txt files)
Best Regards,
Eric

Matlab .m support
The syntax of typical script and function file type of Matlab is not interpreted correctly (eg, single quote when used as transpose is interpreted as unterminated string). This would be very helpful as other matlab types are listed as supported. Thanks, and please forgive if I have missed some ovbious remedy to this.

Fixed
Japanese characters are not rendered in the same size relative to riman text as other iPad apps
Japanese characters are so small that to be readable, the font size must be increased to the point the roman chacters are ridiculously large.

This should now work correctly in the just-released version 3.0.

Syntax Highlighting for Ansys APDL language
It would be really great, if Ansys APDL language would be supported. You can get an example from Notepad++ or VIM (sadly no fraise file). Thank you for your great app and for considering it.
