There is no way to start a new document or project in your app. The only way I can figure is to save a bunch of blank documents that can be opened to a cloud server so that they can be used later

When a file that's stored in iCloud gets moved out of local storage (automatically by the OS I assume), as indicated by the dotted cloud symbol, and then automatically restored (again by the OS I assume) when it is used, it loses the remote link information.

For example, I have a folder of files that is sourced from a SSH connection, stored in iCloud. All works fine, until iOS decides to clear space by removing some of these. They get restored automatically, so that's fine, but once that's done I can no longer upload/download because the link is gone.

I've seen other requests like "cmd + g" for 'Go To Line', and similar things. To me, that's wrong, and it should be "cmd + L" similar to most other IDEs. However, it would be nice if there were a shortcut/hot key area in settings where we could add and customize these at will. Some commonly used ones.

"Cmd + L" -> Go to Line Number

"Cmd + Shift + O" -> Quick open file name

"Cmd + F" -> Find

"Cmd + R" -> Replace (which could be reconfigured to Build/Run, for instance)

"Cmd + W" -> Close open file/tab

These are just some examples, but I think this could end up being a really powerful feature for users.

It’s great that dark themes can be used in the main editing view, but then when one of the white-background file management views is called up, it’s a bit like a stab to the eyes!

Please implement a night mode for the file management views. That will make a great app even better.

Thanks

Pre version 6 lhe web engine local storage was persistent. On iOS it now resets when the app is closed

opt+cmd+p is convinent for preview, but everytime after previewing is done, I had to used finger to tap "done" in order to get back to edit mode which is unefficient !

Need to mark a range in hugh text files to delete it. Should something like in vi: "<start>,<end>d". Maybe more comfortable ;

This is related and sort of not related at the same time. I have the latest version of Textastic 5 (both the iPad version and iPhone version). Every time I launch the app, with the password protection feature of Textastic enabled, I have to be super careful not to rotate the screen. If I accidentally rotate the screen (on either version) the keyboard will not pop up anymore. Having searched for the previous version on the app store (and not finding it), I have no clue how I am supposed to get this issue resolved (besides dishing out another $9.99 for it). I am not a happy customer.

provide an option to pretty print XML docs on open. Essential for working with structured data/texts.
