Current documentation shows support for local and iCloud but I wasn’t able to get this to work for external folders (I added Working Copy folder in external folders but was unable to build a url that would open a file from that location)

On iOS 13 you can no longer select external folders in the standard  UIDocumentPickerViewController. 

My proposed fix

1. Separate the “Open file or folder” button into an “Open file” button and “Open folder” button

2. Do not do anything with the “Open file” button. Everything works fine already.

3. When user taps “Open folder” button, present a document picker initialized with 

UIDocumentPickerViewController(documentTypes: [kUTTypeFolder as String],
                                   in: .open)

BTW, there’s actually a tutorial from Apple about providing access to directories here

Using an iPad with a physical keyboard with Textastic is really powerful. It would become even more powerful if you can use the touchscreen as a trackpad to navigate documents and select text. This is possible in iOS 12. Check out this tweet for details.

Would love this!

This should be possible to make work when using the iOS text APIs.

Similar to Sublime text, it would be awesome to have an option highlight the current line of which the cursor is on (color would be based on the theme) 

Some text exitors have the ability to move the current line or selection up or down using the keyboard. This has many used, for reordering blocks or lines.

A number of mac apps including sublime text and omnioutliner use the shortcut cmd + ctl + up/down

a lot of file extensions are not associated or having the option to open them with textastic app using Files/iCloud/OneDrive/etc..

Please add the ability to edit any text based file extension from there. 

It would be great if a you could use the date as a variable in a template. It could be useful in creating filenames that have date appended and also in inserting the date into the snippet itself. Something along the lines of %Y-%M-%D to achieve 2017-03-22

It would be great if you could replace certain code with edited code in the whole project
