The forum is called "General" but it is correctly posted as a bug (there is a "bug" icon next to "posted by".
A little status update: the whole process with the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce is quite frustrating for me.

I've been trying to follow their instructions at http://www.bis.doc.gov/snap/pinsnapr.htm

I've prepared the Company Certification Letter and faxed it to their Washington number on November 30th 2010 and didn't get any reply for nearly a month. I scanned the document and sent it as a PDF on December 24th – I didn't get any reply.

Then I used the contact form at https://www.bis.doc.gov/forms/snapinquiry.html on January 24th 2011 and - lo and behold - I received a reply by email on January 25th! They claimed that they had sent me an email stating that the information I submitted was incomplete and that I have to send a "Statement Explaining what Item you want to Export and to what Country". I had never received that email and it wasn't in my spam folder (and I send and receive a lot of email every day...).

So I answered this email the same day with the required statement. I haven't heard anything from them after that.

I sent another email on February 1st asking if they received my statement – no answer.

Today, I printed the statement on a company letterhead, signed it and sent it to their official email address.

I just want to get access to their system so that I can request the required documents. This is really frustrating for me as I really want to add SFTP support to Textastic.

So if any of you have any idea what I can do or what I may be doing wrong: I would really appreciate your advice.

... and I thought the German government agencies were slow...
You are right. I must have overlooked that, sorry.
As far as I am aware implementing keyboard shortcuts is not possible on iOS. The text input system on iOS only sends the resulting keys to the editor view. I can't really check if, for example, the Cmd, Ctrl or Alt keys are pressed or not.

I will implement some touch gestures though.
Textastic is a coder's editor. So, like for example TextMate on the Mac, it relies on Monospaced fonts and the fact that each character has the same width. This is not true for Japanese characters - so after some testing I decided to display them at 60% of their size so that they don't overlap. That's better than displaying nothing at all but Textastic really works best with Western/Latin characters.
Interesting, thanks for reporting this. Can you send me a screenshot of the selection in Pages so I can try to reproduce the problem?
Please check your FTP account settings – I need more information in order to help. You can contact me at support at textasticapp dot com.
Will be available in Textastic 2.1
This is fixed for Textastic 2.1.
