in iOS15 iPad the behaviour of the shortcuts bar with an external keyboard (bluetooth Apple) is erratic. First of all, the bar sometimes appears, and sometimes not. Then in iOS, when the bar is minimised (or does not appear for some reason), a button in the lower right should appear to maximise it again; but this never happens with Textastic. I need quite often to access to the shortcuts bar to switch from the external keyboard to the on-screen keyboard to use my math symbols keyboard.

Hi! I do a great deal of document reviews and use text highlighting (I.e. highlight the text with a yellow background).

It would be really useful if Textastic could support text highlighting.

One possible way would be to add support for CriticMarkup.

Could you look at this as a future enhancement please?

Regards,

Peter

Scenario:

So recently I've been (impatiently) tapping outside of the file transfer progress window while it is still in the process of uploading/downloading files. The window closes and I don't seem to be able to access it again but the transfer seems to complete in the background. I usually wait to verfy that the transfer is complete but I tried it once and it seemed to work so I've been doing it a lot lately. I also exit both the file transfer progress window (by tapping outside of it as I said) and immediately close the remote file transfer window my clicking the "Done" button and this doesn't seem to affect/interrupt the transfer. 

My question is:

1. Is this background transfer an intended feature or have I just gotten lucky and could potential screw myself over with larger transfers in the future?

2. Would it also be safe to exit the app while the transfer progress window is up?

I guess I also have an idea:

Would it be possible to have some visual confirmation, perhaps in notifications, or a recently transfered file list that verfies completed transfers. Right now, I've been anxiously  checking each file to make sure they are updated. 

Oh and Praises! 

One of the most used apps on my iPad for sure. It's been so freeing to not have to lug my big boy laptop everywhere. Thanks!

On iPad, when in text editor, the “new terminal” button is on the upper left corner, while in the terminal it is on the upper right, which is not very convenient. Could it be fixed somewhere forever?

I’ve had some issues editing projects that reside on my Mac using Textastic on iPad with the Mac folders mapped using Secure Shellfish. Specifically, I’ve had files get deleted when trying to move them to a new folder using Textastic (they get removed from A but never arrive in B), and also times when it doesn’t fully see moves that happened outside the app and so does weird things like recreate some of the no-longer present directories.

Just FYI because without Git, I would have definitely lost work because of it.

I have Textastic on my iPhone and my iPad. Between the two of them I have an iCloud folder that syncs files. When I create a text file on one of these devices, it will not open on the other device without a little work. Chose general category as this isn't inherently an iPhone or iPad issue. The files have the following properties:

Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8)

Line Endings: Unix (LF)

Syntax: Markdown

Below is flow of screenshots that show the issue with the Based Anarky.txt (it's a batman thing) file that originated on my iPad and I am trying to open it on my iPhone:

1. Click on greyed out file.

2. Receive error

3. Long press on file and click open as text file

4. Click open

5. Receive error, file contents not showing

6. Check file list to see file is no longer greyed out, click on file

7. File opens properly

The Textastic folder on my iPad suddenly no longer exists. This must be somehow related to the upgrade to the new Textastic version. I already tried reinstalling Textastic again: I can open it, but it doesn't show up anywhere in the file manager. When I search for it, no result is displayed. Bummer.

I just started using Textastic, with the hope of using it to create, view and edit source files written in c with a .c file extension.  I have several such files stored in iCloud.  I can see the index for my files in iCloud, but Textastic won’t let me view those files, let alone edit them if they have a .c extension.  I thought textastic could be used for such files.  What am I missing or does the app not have that capability?

I don’t know if it’s the language I’m using but if I have some code (soft indents)

if something

    Xyz

endif   

When I select the Xyz (cmd-left, shift-down), copy (Cmd-C), and paste it before the endif (down, up. Cmd-V) the code ends up looking like

if something

    Xyz

    Xyz

    endif

Is there any way to turn off auto-indent on paste?  This only happens if the end-of-line is selected which is really what I want and is easier to do rather than a shift-down, shift-left, Cmd-C, right, Cmd-V, return.

I initially thought that “go back” was silly in text editors until I started using it in IntelliJ.  Now any time I hit Cmd-Up by mistake (say a Cmd-Left then up) I’m annoyed that Cmd-[ doesn’t put the cursor back to where it was.
