Aside from using Textastic for coding, I like to use it for keeping .txt files for simple notes. I’ve noticed that whenever I (on purpose) enter two or more spaces (e.g. to create a simple column table), a period is auto-added in the the first position of two spaces. This is annoying... seems more appropriate to a word processor than a code/text editor... and I wish there was a setting/preference to allow me to enable/disable this action.

Just bought Textastic and it’s looking like it will be quite useful for allowing me to edit code/text files on the go. I just noticed that it does not recognize R markdown files (.Rmd) but it seems to handle these files fine if I change the suffix to .mdown in Dropbox. It’s great that I can edit the files on my iPad but annoying that I have to change the file suffix to do so.

(Also might be nice to have support for bibliography files like .bib)

Textastic offers syntax highlighting for many languages including PHP, but it dosen't include compilers or interpreters due to restrictions of iOS.

If you try to preview the php file locally, only the html part will be interpreted by the web view. The PHP part will be ignored.

In order to preview PHP in Textastic, you can upload the file to a test server, open the preview screen, 

and enter the remote url of your test server.

Ah, ok....I understand all that. Is a shame as I was only going to be using this app offline as my iPad doesn't have 3G and I'm not running a web server yet so it's not going to be much use to me at the moment. Although I appreciate this is a good app and well done on the development but is there any chance I can get a refund as it's no use to me?

Hi guys, will be great if i could use hdmi fullHD output of IPad to coding in big screen or external monitor. This is possible?

When opening external folders for editing in Textastic they can contain a lot of different files. It would be great to be able to search within these folders for particular files. 

Ideally, this feature would extend to both the 'Local' and 'iCloud' locations as well. 

Hello i got wrong language for my iPad... I got German language, but for my iPhone everything is ok. How can i change the language to English on my iPad? Thank you!

It seems that HTML and CSS highlighting is out of date. Examples: main (html), css-grid, and flexbox. 

Textastic won’t open local files it doesn’t recognize i.e.. something.myext

Is there anyway to change that or would it require an update.

Perhaps a way to define custom file extentions.

Hi, this would be a so handy feature, would you add it in settings? ☺

I feel like this is a big feature that’s missing, especially when going back and forth between an HTML and CSS file. It feels very slow reaching up from the keyboard to constantly tap between them.

Something like: 

Option + Up/Down = navigate between files within the current folder or recent files.
