Text zoom with automatic text reflow
When zooming text with the pinching gesture with two fingers, it should automatically adjust text position to match the screen edges and automatically reflow text to fit them. This is specially important on iPhone, as the screen space is very limited. It could be an option in the settings, to allow both ways.
The desired behaviour can be found, for instance, in an app named Permanote (formerly Nebulous Notes). You pinch the screen and the text adjusts its size and fits the screen, fowing in realtime.
Move cursor/viewport with external keyboard
It would be good if Textastic supported moving the text viewport up and down via the external keyboard, in effect moving the line with the cursor up and down the screen. I feel it's pretty common to do with when working with text, and it's very annoying to not be able to do it.
Recents or Favorites in File Transfer view
The recent files list is great, and I use it all the time. It would also be great if there was a similar feature—recents or favorites—in the File Transfer view, for quickly going to oftenused local & remote folders.
Please make deleting files safer
Hi, just got the app and I'm loving it so far. However, I'm a little concerned how easy it is to delete files. It would be nice if there were a confirmation box or a trash folder in case of accidental deletion
Proportional font
I'd like to request proportional fonts, if possible. Source Sans Pro is a good one.
I'm using working copy to manage writing projects using Markdown and really appreciate Textastic's integration. However, I find writing text (as opposed to code) in mono space fonts kind of ugly.
Upgrade v5 to v6
App offers an upgrade from v5 to v6 now. But no "upgrade" price, it is the full price for the app again. No upgrade price policy for your devoted users
No Error reporting? Firebug lite does not catch JS errors?
This app needs more robust, built-in error reporting beyond linking in an external library that is, itself, powered by Javascript and so presumably dies as soon as an actual JS error is thrown. What's the point of that? Coffeescript has a pretty robust error logger, and CodePad has a mediocre one, but at least they'll catch the errors in the following, whereas Textastic with Firebug Lite just does nothing at all. You're in good (bad) company: Koder and Kodiac both suffer from the same disease. See the error-ridden code below:
console.log("log");
alert("hey");
fffx(); // undefined function
ggg.h() test $< // method on undefined function and then illegal tokens
Not to appear completely negative,the Navigator is epic, and your options for file interchange are best in class.
Just really surprised that you can't really use this app for JS development, since there's no way to report JavaScript errors. Am I mistaken?
Textastic 6.3 adds a new JavaScript console that can show errors in your JavaScript code and allows you to log custom messages using the JavaScript Console object (for example by calling the console.log() method).

Launcher Center Pro - Support
Would it be possible to add integration/support for Launch Center Pro from AppCubby. I know there is already a custom URL scheme, but it would be nice to have the icon. And perhaps the ability to launch Textastic from a URL scheme, and copy the contents of the clipboard to a new file.

Thank you for an amazing piece of software.
