When selecting 'edit' it would be great if the current file was automatically selected. Especially with long file names (e.g. Created after using the 'textastic:' custom URL scheme) that are only partially visible it is sometimes difficult to find them again (e.g. When using edit to rename them to a shorter file name).

App is crashing every few minutes, most often when deleting several lines of text by holding down the delete key but also happened when I was simply scrolliing down the code page. I've tried rebootting the ipad but no difference. Had been working fine until recently (I have not updated to the retina-display version, so I'm using the one before that). I've really come to rely on this app for my paying job., so I sincerely hope you can fix this!

Great app! One issue though - when I paste code from the iPad integrated email app into Textastic, I sometimes get non-space white spaces, that end up breaking JavaScript or HTML in some browsers. Maybe a feature to see what white spaces are not actually space?

How can I setup Textastic to SugarSync account?

I saw a comment from a year ago with planned support for UNIX file permissions.  Anywhere in sight yet?  I don't even need to change the permissions, but when I sync a folder with Bash o Python scripts which are executable in the Mac and edit them in Textastic they loose their executable bit, which is not nice, specially since some of them need to run from a cron job... It would be nice if you preserved whatever file permissions where there to begin with.

Great product, but it would be nice if I could directly access files in my dropbox (edit/save directly in dropbox, without having to launch dropbox app, browse to file and open in textastic, rather browse dropbox account directly in textastic)

Also, it would be nice if you added native support for Flex 'MXML' files, the syntax can be relatively the same as HTML/xml/as with very minor modifications if any, however direct support for .mxml files would be great.

For those us using Objective-C and C/C++ placing the ';' and ':' keys near the braces and bracket keys in the top row of the keyboard would make for better flow and productivity when typing.

MultiMarkdown, pandoc, and other markdown processors support definition lists in the style:

Term
: Definition, starting in the fourth column

I would love to hvae this added to textastic. Actually , since my workstation-side processing is in pandoc, I'd be thrilled to have perfect mimicry of pandoc-style markdown: footnotes, tables, DLs, math.

The code completion list looks bad in Textastic 4.0.1 when running on the 3rd generation iPad.

This one should be pretty straightforward. I am replacing a 3 letter word with a 4 letter word and after replacing several instances within a selected area of text, that selected area has shifted (gotten smaller) by the same number of characters. You'll want to test it a bit with different lengths to see exactly what it's doing...

This picture should show you exactly what I'm talking about. http://stevenlu.net/files/12_4_24_screenshot.png
