The cursor disappears
I use it on iPad Air and Smart Keyboard.
The environment is iPad OS 15.0.2 Textastic 9.7.2.
When I move the cursor with the cursor keys or tap the screen while inputting Japanese, the cursor sometimes disappears.
I don't know the location of the cursor, and the location of the cursor doesn't change in the first place.
It has happened in recent versions.
In addition, we have confirmed the occurrence on iOS 15.0.1.

Question: Autocomplete self defined variables and functions
Hello.
I have started using textastic.
This is really great app to work with, but I couldn’t figure out if there is function to autocomplete my self defined variables and functions.
I know there already exists a function to autocomplete standard functions, for example,
when you type “func…” and then tap Tab key, there appears:
function name() {
}
or “al” and tab then alert( )
but for var someThing, or function someFunc(){},
even if you type “some…” it does not show option to select from “someThing” or ”someFunc”.
we usually use self stated variables and functions for many times, and each time we are anxious for mistyping.
And so basically superior code editor has a function to autocomplete those - often little bit lengthy - names.
I hope anyone tell me how to enable that functionality.
Thank you.

iOS15: minimised shortcuts bar button
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.

Support for CriticMarkup
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

Background File Transfer
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!

“New terminal” button
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?

Sync/Refresh issue with Textastic and Secure Shellfish folders
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.

Text files in iCloud created on one iOS device will be grayed out on another linked iOS device
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






Textastic folder on iPad vanished
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.

Textastic won’t allow me to view file (let alone edit it) with .c file extension
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?
