Yes, it has been available for some time. Just tap on a zip file in the "Files" section and you will be asked if you want to unpack the file.


Here's a screenshot:


You can create a zip file by tapping on the "Edit" button, selecting files and folders and tapping on the "Zip" button in the toolbar below the file list.

Ah, ok, I see. I thought "replace" was a functionality provided by Pythonista.

I put it on my todo list but need to investigate further.


Is there actually such a pythonista url handler already? I couldn't find a "replace" command in their url handler docs.

That's weird. It should only close when you actually tap in the keyboard corner to close it.

Just do a single tap (not a double tap!) on the editor to open the keyboard.

Actually, Textastic does save the last selection/cursor position and scrolls to that position when opening a file.

The textastic:// url scheme works like that:

  • Open a website in Safari
  • Tap on the address bar
  • Replace http:// with textastic://
  • Hit Return
  • Textastic will open and download the file at the url

You can use this feature to view the source code of a website or download arbitrary files in Textastic.
