Textastic is a must have app for anyone programming on an iPad which IMO is becooming a more widely used device for coding! I use Textastic just about daily for coding in javascript. I appreciate the opportunity here to re-iterate my two wish list items .

1. Enhancements to the symbol/ labels list to facilitate easy navigation in the code. For example being able to select three or more functions in the code that you can jump back and forth to to make trouble shooting easier. Maybe "pinning" them to the top of the list with the capability of tapping on each one to quickly go to that section of the code. Very useful for JavaScript's  multiple functions. Jump to line option in iOS native keyboard or by tapping the line numbers icon at the top of the Textastic tool bar would also be very helpful. (This is already available using an external keyboard 

2. Ready access to the Read Only switch on the visible tool bar, without having to dig deep in settings to make the switch. For those of us who 'fall asleep' while coding in the middle of the night, this would help prevent inadvertant un-intentional 'additions' to the code that can take hours to slueth out in trouble shooting why the code doesn't work anymore!

Alexander ddeserves many kudos and congrats for developing and continually updating the best code editor and IDE for programming on iOS. Well done and THANK YOU

Hey there, 

I have had this issue for about a month by now. I'm trying to fix it but it's not working. I changed my phone's language to spanish a time ago. After changing it back to English I saw textastic was having an issue fixing the language. Could you please help?

Just tried to activateTextastic. Message saying it must be updated.

Only use it occasionally so don not know when it occurred.

My system is IOS 14.6.

How do I update? Has always been automatic for n (many) years)

Are there any app with SFTP file provider extension that are compatible with Textastic besides Secure ShellFish?

I tried SFTP File Provider from Akos Polster, and FileBroswer, but both are greyed out when opening the Add External Folder panel. What makes them incompatible?

Thank you!

Faster renaming of files:

(Like Pages) Click directly on the file name and you can rename the file.

I have run into a strange issue. Regardless of what I open and from where, I cannot edit anything. Textastic opens the files, but it just does not respond to any keyboard input. The application itself is responsive (I can change settings, etc.), but all files are - sort of - readonly. It does not matter if those files come from external folders, are live files or “local” Textastic files. Tried restart, reinstall and did not help. 

iPad, iPadOS 14.5

Can the cursor key stay when you click the “esc” key so one can push it a few times instead of swipe the small keys, under vim you need cursor keys in insert mode a lot; thanks for consideration

Example...

in Markdown:
[YouTube vid](https://www\.youtube\.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360)

if I try to open this in Safari or copy the link (from the Preview)... I get the following URL, which is malformed...

https://www/.youtube/.com/watch?v=2SJ977\-CMPg&t=360

there's several issues with that URL... first \. in the Markdown should become . in preview, but instead it becomes /.
also \- should become - and & should become & but both are left as is

as a test, the following 2 lines of Markdown will produce the identical string of output characters (although the second line will be wrapped in a "pre" tag), unless escaping is broken in which case the first line will have extra backslashes

\!\#\&\(\)\*\+\-\.\:\<\>\@\[\\\]\^\_\`\{\|\}\~\
``!#&()*+-.:<>@[\]^_`{|}~``

I have my servers set to only allow remote login with ssh keys (no passwords). Given this, I’d love to see the ssh key handling in Textastic updated to allow for modern open ssh key formats and key formats such as ed25519 and ecdsa 521. 

I’d also love to see the private keys automatically stored in an encrypted file accessible only to the app or something other than the local files folder.

Finally, a clipboard import feature would be super nice.

Thanks!

I saw the developer reply for this Feature for over 10 years and now still no this feature?
