Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

I've just updated the list. Thanks!

Ok, I just re-read your idea and I have to apologize: your suggestion was actually very similar to what I posted above. I must have misunderstood your post the first time.

So, yes, your idea is definitely a good one!

Oh, and of course a bluetooth keyboard or a keyboard dock are great ways to circumvent this problem :)

Hi, sounds like a good idea, but I already tried to implement gestures for cursor navigation. See my latest comment at http://feedback.textasticapp.com/feedback/15671-gestures-do-navigate-page-up-page-down-etc-it-would-make-life-much-easier/

It was really slow and interfered with scrolling and zooming gestures.

I think I need a way to do this with buttons but without taking away too much space. I already have something in mind - I believe I saw a similar solution in iSSH: a "navigation wheel" with cursor buttons that appears above the text when you do a double-tap on the editor.

Interesting. The license at https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/master/COPYING sure looks like this is usable in an iOS app. Thanks for letting me know.

This additional per-file switch could be added to the popover that is described in this idea: http://feedback.textasticapp.com/feedback/8814-what-about-tabbed-coding/

The popover would appear when you tap on the file title. The title could show a lock symbol when the file is in read-only mode.

Well, yes, you can only select text when you have a cursor. This is only possible when the editor has focus (or is the "first responder" in iOS speak).

But you are right, Safari for example allows you to select text by double-clicking even when the text is not editable. I'll consider adding this feature.

Great to hear that it worked!
