Broken Translation
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?


Needs update iOS 14.6
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)

Hello,
Textastic 5.3.1, which was released more than 5 years ago, can no longer be launched on iOS 14.5 and later due to changes made by Apple.
The current version 9.6.4 supports the latest features of iOS 14 and is available as a separate app in the App Store: Textastic Code Editor 9. If you install the new app while the old app is still on the device, all your files and remote connections will be migrated to the new app automatically.
Textastic 5.3.1 is no longer sold on the App Store and thus can no longer be updated. However, existing customers can still download the app for older iOS versions.
Textastic 6.0 was released in March 2016 and was the first paid upgrade since version 1.0 was released in 2010.

Compatible SFTP file providers
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
Faster renaming of files:
(Like Pages) Click directly on the file name and you can rename the file.

Cannot edit anything
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.

Can the cursor key stay when you click the “esc” key
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

Opening a Markdown link in Safari mishandles escapes
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
\!\#\&\(\)\*\+\-\.\:\<\>\@\[\\\]\^\_\`\{\|\}\~\ ``!#&()*+-.:<>@[\]^_`{|}~``

ssh key updates - request
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!

Still can not edit file over SSH/FTPS?
I saw the developer reply for this Feature for over 10 years and now still no this feature?

You can do this using the Secure ShellFish app:
- add the SSH/SFTP server to Secure ShellFish
- enable Secure ShellFish location in the Files app
- add the server as an external folder to Textastic (see https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/external_files_folders.html#adding-external-folders)
This allows you to edit files lives on an SFTP server.
