Please go to the app's settings and enable the "Read-only" setting. I think this is what you are looking for.

Also, in the next version the keyboard will only come up if you lift your finger from the touch screen without having moved it (instead of after a few milliseconds while the finger is still on the screen but hasn't moved yet). This makes it much harder to accidentally show the keyboard.

Actually, Textastic always checks if a file upload would overwrite remote files before uploading. If not, then this is probably a bug. What kind of remote server are you connecting to for which it doesn't ask for confirmation?

No, that's currently not possible. But it's a good idea.

Use the action menu and select "Download Latest". Have a look at the manual for more information: http://www.textasticapp.com/manual/lessons/How_can_I_quickly_upload_downloaded_files.html

This will be fixed in Textastic 2.2.

Sorry, but I still don't know what schema files you have and what library of components you are talking about.

Because you can :)

No, I haven't yet. Thanks for the pointer!

I've added it to my todo list. I will add it to the manual.
