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.
Hi, how exactly are you currently renaming files in Textastic?
Hello,
please check if you have "Read-Only" enabled in Textastic's settings -> Code Editor -> Keyboard. The text of the option is red if it is enabled.

I just tested this in Textastic and in the Mac app "Marked 2", and looked at the HTML source generated by both apps.
Textastic uses the MultiMarkdown library, Marked 2 can switch between the Discount library and MultiMarkdown.
Using Discount in Marked 2, the link is unescaped, so "\." becomes ".". But if I use the MultiMarkdown processor in Marked 2, the same thing happens as in Textastic and "\." stays "\.".
I guess the "/." you are seeing is just Safari/iOS trying to interpret the URL. It is not what's in the the generated HTML source code.
So it looks like MultiMarkdown doesn't support escaped characters in Markdown links. Unfortunately there is not much I can do about this, unless I would switch to another Markdown library.
With both libraries, "&" becomes "&" however - so you should just use "&" instead of "&" in the Markdown file.
I see! I thought the clipboard import was a request unrelated to SSH keys, sorry.
Hello, Textastic 9 already supports Ed25519 and ECDSA keys.
I'll consider adding better SSH key management.
How exactly would a clipboard import feature work? You can already import the clipboard using x-callback-url actions "new", "append" or "replace": https://www.textasticapp.com/v9/manual/integration_other_apps/x-callback-url.html#actions
"If neither the text parameter nor the snippet parameter is specified, the text to append will come from the clipboard."
Example: Append the contents of the clipboard to the file clipboard.txt in the iCloud root folder:
textastic://x-callback-url/append?location=iCloud&name=clipboard.txt
You can call this url from a shortcut in the Shortcuts app.
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.

That's weird - I haven't seen this before.
Can you please have a look at the iOS Settings app and then scroll down to Textastic? You should find a setting to set the language to English there.
