Awesome
Firstly, i'd like to say that your app justifies the entire cost of the iPad for me. I do almost all my coding now from my iPad = anywhere. It is truly a fantastic app.
The only things I would ask for is code hinting/completion and easy API reference. My suggestion is make in app purchases possible for different languages.
For example, I'm right now coding in action script 3.0. If I could purchase code hinting/completion and an API ref for the language that is an addon to textastic and the API very easily accessible within the app, I would happily pay a few dollars per language for this add on feature.
I wouldn't even worry about space requirements, I'd prefer the API to be off line so it's quick to access when yr coding. I would instantly buy such a feature fore about 5 of my usual languages.
Please do let me know if such a feature does become available.

This is now implemented. Will be available in 1.1.
The user now has the option to show or hide the sidebar in landscape and even in portrait orientation. This way, everone can decide if he wants to see the sidebar or not.

Edit Syntax Highlighting Definition Files
I would prefer to have access to the underlying syntax highlighting definition files in order to make changes on my own. This works very well in 'Ultraedit' (www.ultraedit.com), a very popular editor in the Windows/Linux world, which allows me to extend the list of languages with my own or new languages or keywords. Changing colours is just a subset of this feature. Thanks for your consideration!

Textastic 2.2 is now available on the App Store. It is a huge update:
Main new features:
- MobileMe iDisk support
- WebDAV client support
- Save several remote file locations – for example, Textastic will now remember a file's location in your Dropbox as well as on your FTP server so you can quickly upload and download a file using several remote locations.
- New Auto-Wordwrap option is enabled by default: this automatically adjusts the word wrap to fit the width of the editor (helpful when changing between portrait and landscape mode) - you can change this back to a fixed wrap column in settings
- New cursor navigation wheel - can be brought up with a two-finger tap
- Tap-and-hold on a file in the "Files" section brings up three new options: "Open with Encoding", "Open In..." and "Preview"
"Open With Encoding" allows you to overwrite the automatically detected character encoding
"Open In" allows you to open all files in other app without loading them in the editor
"Preview" allows you to view images, pdf and word files etc. using the preview function of iOS - You can now setup a password lock to protect your files and connections
Other features:
- New drawing code for the editor - should be much more responsive when typing and selecting text
- Pinch-to-zoom shows zooming factor and snaps to 100%
- Supports FTPES (explicit auth SSL/TLS)
- New setting: soft tabs (spaces instead of tabs)
- New setting: show or hide tab characters
- In the File Properties popover you can now set the character encoding used when saving an already open file
- You can choose between more character encodings when creating a new file (for example, Cyrillic CP 1251)
- Line endings (Unix, Windows, Mac) can now be chosen when you create a new file and also modified in the file information popover
- Japanese characters are now displayed at full height and 68% width to make them more readable
- Tap and hold on selection handles is now handled correctly
- Tapping once on the status bar goes to the top of the file, tapping a second time goes to the bottom
- The keyboard only comes up when you lift the finger on the editor. This avoids bringing up the keyboard if you only want to scroll.
- PowerShell syntax definition
- Rearranged the settings screen
- New font size selection control
- Many bug fixes

scrolling via scrollbar
would be great if its possible to scroll with the edge of the screen (scrollbar). i have the situation, that some files are 20000 lines of code. yeeah i know this is relly bad coding style, but i have to deal with that.
and for such worst case files, it would be great to scroll to the end in less than 60 seconds.

Hi

Robert.
I would love to see Markdown Extra support in the preview - especially tables. I already use Textastic for writing my meeting minutes and emails and I would like to see tables added.
