What's new in Textastic 3.0?
Major new features:
- Re-implemented the code editor and syntax highlighting engine from the ground up. The new engine is compatible with TextMate syntax definitions and themes.
- You can choose from many popular themes
- New symbol list shows symbols in the current file (for example function and class names, html ids, markdown headlines...)
- The new syntax highlighter supports nested syntaxes (CSS in HTML in a PHP file)
- Markdown syntax highlighting
- You can now use your own custom syntax definitions and themes (this is explained in the manual)
- You can now bring up a list of recently opened files by tapping on the file name. This allows to quickly switch between several files. There's also a button that allows you to close the currently open file.
- Full support for Japanese text and other wide characters
NOTE: Because of a change that was necessary in this version, you'll have to re-enter all passwords for your connections after you install the update. Sorry for that.
Other changes:
- Added modification time in file listings
- Added a redo button
- Added more character encodings
- New "Copy All" command to copy the contents of the current file
- CSS styles in Markdown are now used for preview
- When you do a quick file transfer, you can disable the overwrite confirmation prompt. You can also re-enable the confirmation in the app's settings screen.
- Row of additional keys is now shown in Find/Replace
- TextExpander support in Find/Replace
- If you manually select a syntax definition for a file, this is used as the default for all files with the file's extension (this helps with .h files, which can be C++, C or Objective-C)
Connections:
- Added ipv6 support for (S)FTP connections
- Fixed some WebDAV issues
- WebDAV: support for self-signed ssl certificates
- FTPS/FTPES: "SSL Mode": you can now require SSL only for the control connection or for all communication
- FTP: empty files (0 bytes) can now be downloaded
- FTP: You can now set the maximum amount of concurrent connections for FTP connections

Undo whole word or tag
When you type and then press Undo it removes every single letter. Sometimes it's way too slow.
Could you make Undo to remove whole word or tag or variable? So it removes everything you typed up to the space or special character.
e.g. I typed
<div style="font-family:Aria
—> tap Undo
<div style="font-family:
—> tap Undo
<div style="font-
And so on.

Let users delete the Getting Started file
Currently, the Getting Started document is alway re-created at application launch.
Textastic also opens the document, when there are no other files in the files panel.
It should be possible to disable this behaviour and to delete the GettingStarted.textastic file.

This is now possible in 1.1.
You can re-enable the GettingStarted file in settings.

Optionally show symbols list in left hand pane
It would be great to switch the content of the left hand pane to display the go-to symbols of the currently open file rather than the file list. I realise I can see the symbols list as a hover-over list by touching the symbol but if attached to the left pane it could be permanently open while I have the iPad in landscape mode.

Preview for Themes/ Specify syntax highlight colors?
I would love to be able to match the highlight colors to my desktop code editor so that I can eliminate any confusion. Also, while looking for a theme with similar colors I found it redundant to tap options, scroll to themes, select them, tap back, tap done, and then find that the theme I chose was not my favorite, and repeat. Still great app!

Mount remote directory over ssh
Would be useful for development where you need to use a remote server.
Instead of checking files in/out over SFTP, I'd like to suggest mounting a remote folder locally.
What this means is that I can access any random file within the directory and when the file is saved, it's automatically pushed to the remote server without any other operations
This means that
- I can run it from my own flavour of web server - PHP, etc
- I can use GIT or SVN
Bonus points for allowing any web page open in the web preview window and an SSH shell :)
This may go against the philosophy of "Build everything into the one app", so I'd like to point that out upfront. I still think that the remote workflow support would be extremely useful.

Actually, this is already possible using the app Secure ShellFish which allows you to access SSH/SFTP servers as folders in the Files app. You can add those folders as external folders to Textastic and open and edit the files as if they were local.

Have dark themes change the top bar that's visible during editor to be darker/user customizable.
Subject pretty much says it all, I think the app is great as it is but when using a dark theme the brightness of that lone bar up top is a bit distracting - perhaps it could be adjusted in tone or something? Thanks :)

Using TAB key on selected lines of codes…
It'd be nice if you'd add a feature where you can add tab to a selected lines of code without having to move your cursor to the beginning of a line and push TAB on the virtual keyboard. It gets tiresome when you have to do that on like 10 + lines of code. Also, it'd be nice if you'd also add another feature where it'd allow us to remove the tab beside a selected lines of code.

Textile support?
THanks for the app, I can stop writing my own now. I would like to request support for textile files that end in .textile. The syntax highlighting is similar to markdown.
