I dont see any reason for this. Why is 666 on a file not enough?

Even though I set the default encoding to UTF-8 in textastic's settings, most of my scripts still open with a western encoding, breaking any UTF-8 encoded characters in them If I don't notice it fast enough to reload with UTF-8. This happens even if those scripts have a `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-"` line or UTF-8 characters in the few view lines.

A correct encoding detection would only switch to western encoding if it encounters errors while trying to parse the file as UTF-8, not the other way around, since every byte is valid in western encodings, while a lot of combinations are invalid in UTF-8.

I am experiencing the same crash whenever I try to double click on the first word in a text file to copy and paste.  If I drag to manually select the word it works fine, but as soon as I double click to select the whole word, it crashes.  It happens on both my desktop and laptop, and only seems to be the first word in a text file.  Hope you are able to fix it - Textastic is a really great app!

Thanks,

Iain

In a new Textastic window type any text with multiple word, then click Cmd+ left arrow to jump over typed words, when cursor arrives at very first position it crashes.

CMD-X, CMD-C are there, it's just CMD-V which IMO is missing.

Hi, how do I find and replace text across multiple files in Mac? Seems pretty basic. thanks much, Sanjiv 

I can't find "pl/sql" in the languages list. I bought this app just to work with pl/sql. Is there a way to add it to the app?

Thanks!

This was fixed in a previous update but when I updated to OS 10.14.6, it's back. Whenever I open Textastic, it opens every old file I've edited over the past month. It's getting to the point that it takes me a few minutes to close them all out. I have this option deselected in preferences but it's still happening. I really enjoy Textastic but this is a killer. Help!

Ability to mark a block of columns to mark copy cut or paste would be useful for columnar data.

Old IBM PC E3 editor had this feature.
