I'd really love for local network file transfer not to have to involve me typing IPs, especially since I tend to move around networks a lot, and can give my phone and laptop static addreses in very few of them. Some of my iOs apps (e.g. touchosc) implement zeroconf so that rather than typing in some tedious IPs that soon change anyway, you can simply select the available hosts from a drop down list. that would be awesome for Textastic

Moving 800 files hung at various points

When I open the find box, it's blank. You could fill it with the word under the cursor. Then you would need a button or gesture to repeat the previous search, in case it was different to the word currently under the cursor.

It would be wonderful if you could implement syntax highlighting for SAS.  There are files for Text Wrangler, and VIM already.  Otherwise, a system where we could drop in new syntax highlighting would be excellent!

Being able to write Textile in Textastic and see the HTML output in the Preview pane, as we can now with Markdown, would be a great addition.

Maybe it's not possible, but it would be great if the ftp down/upload resumes while Textastic is not active ... When having lots of files queued, the app has to stay on top and so the iPad is "blocked"

Add a remote search for files and folders so that you can enter the name of the file or folder and it will search the entire remote site with subfolders for files and folders with that name.

While connecting to a secure webDAV Server with a self-signed certificate, Texttastic tells me that the certificate is unknown and that the connection to the server is being denied.

Apple's iWork apps warn of the potential hazard and ask for connection confirmation.

I use the CakePHP framework. Most of my files have an extension of .cpt, which are just normal PHP files. I would be nice if I could add the .ctp extension to PHP syntax highlighting. I know that I can change it once the file is open, but doing that every time I open a file really adds up to a lot of work.

Thanks
