If a filename ends in .jags or .bugs, please use R syntax highlighting (instead of plain text). These files indicate Bayesian statistical models, and their syntax matches R syntax. No new programming to support this language is required -- just matching the extension to R syntax would be great! Thanks

I'd love a way of saving multiple versions of a document more easily and safely. Firstly, a no-overwrite lock would be good, so that all edits write to a new _copy_ of an existing document, to save me from myself so I don't overwrite existing work. Secondly either an easier SaveAs or an easier way of making a copy of a doc before I start editing, preferably by creating a writeable copy of a file that uses a filename that is version number suffixed or date suffixed, something like either

mydoc.txt;3 mydoc,txt;4 - (VAX/VMS-style), or

mydoc-2016-12-01.txt or

./2016-12-01/mydoc.txt

To minimize navigation it would be nice if the editor opened the closest html-file when previewing a javascript file.

i have a router that has an admin I/f that speaks http. On a *nix box, I could upload a config file (an XML file) to the device using the "curl" tool with suitable parameters. If I could create a saved settings upload object containing the saved parameters as for curl, I could upload a file that I have edited in textastic on my iPad. I could probably do http downloads in a similar fashion too. This would be a fantastic time-saver for me. It's basically a feature request for one more protocol, straight http, plus some decoration. Optional TLS on top would be nice too

Sorry for my bad english. nteresting and well structured application, designed exactly for the use of which I need, namely to simplify the ability to write code in the dead time (travel, etc.) even with a mobile device that is normally designed for different uses. Lean and mean. If I may suggest an implementation that could really make a difference, it would be the ability to store and easily retrieve some personal code snippets frequently used. The only drawback however, slightly annoying and too laborious having to create the file on a screen and then having to change for upload to the server in order to return in the previous screen to process it and load it. It can not do so to be able to create the same position?

Instead of mirroring iOS device onto another display Apple TV, how about send just the preview to the second display and leave the code in editable on the iOS devise. Live update isn't necessary. It would be neat to hav

Hi,

I used v5 on iPad for a long time and I remember a very responsive start of Textastic even having a lot of files on iCloud. V6 however takes several seconds on a lot (not all) starts of the app showing a wating cursor and then popping up with iCloud folder on left hand side.

Is this expected and tolerated design? Is it possible to speed things up like it was in former version?

If it's not possible to speed up, I'd like to see the former version of Textastic to be downloadable from app store side by side with the new one. You may increase the price for the old one to a ridiculous price (999 Euros) to prevent new user to buy it.

Looking forward to your answer

I want to be able to open and save Dropbox files. Also want to move files from Local or iCloud to Dropbox. I can't do that now.

TBH, this idea is just for fun. I thought it would pretty cool that if we could code our own games with Textastic and play it both on the app and widget. Now, the widget would have its own settings in the app. The user can enable controls to include in the widget such as left, right, up, down, jump and etc.. That way, easier for making simple games without worrying about controls. Again, this idea is just for fun.

In Textastic 6, I cannot update my textexpander snippets. Textexpander is installed, but when I click on "update snippets" nothing happens... is it a known issue ?

I'm using textastic 6 on iPad Air with iOS 10. This issue is not present on my iPhone 6s with iOS 10.
