I recently bought Textastic because I felt rather limited by the Pythonista text editor. And I must say that editing long scripts is a lotter easier with this dedicated editor. Now I can properly find and replace text. Now I can easily indent/outdent text. Brackets is a lightweight, yet powerful, modern text editor. We blend visual tools into the editor so you get the right amount of help when you want it. With new features and extensions released every 3-4 weeks, it's like getting presents all year long. Not sure whether this is a question or a feature request but here goes: My workflow; sftp server (mac-mini) files to ipad, edit using textastic, upload changes to server and run against node using ssh and the prompt app. Test the changes using ios safari.

It has been more than 2 years since Textastic 5 released on iPad. It was a free update to an app that had been receiving great updates since 2010. Just a few days ago, Alexander Blach released Textastic 6, a major update that replaces both Textastic for iPhone and iPad in a new Universal avatar. I’ve been using it over the last few days and it really is a great update as well as a step in the right direction.
Textastic was already a fully featured IDE for iOS, with support for syntax of more than 80 languages and this upgrade is more focussed on power user features and modern iPads. Textastic 6 adds full support for the iPad Pro, along with both Split View and Slide Over modes on iPads that support it. This is a welcome addition, because now you can work on code and view previews side by side. iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users get 3D Touch for accessing recently used files as well. Textastic 6 still supports the amazing keyboard shortcut bar on top of the iOS keyboard that I love. At first I thought Dropbox support wasn’t that great, since the open menu in the app says Dropbox doesn’t support opening files. Thankfully, Alexander has outlined how you can link Dropbox and work on your Dropbox files easily here. Alexander clarifies,
The file provider extension of the Dropbox app does not yet support “open” mode – it only supports import and export. That’s why it doesn’t appear in the system-provided document picker when you select the “Open…” command in Textastic. This is something Dropbox would have to add to their app.
If you’ve been looking for an editor for code on iOS and for some reason Coda isn’t something that you prefer, Textastic 6 is a very competent option with its support for various languages, modern iOS features, great keyboard shortcut bar, and more. Textastic 6 is available for $9.99 on the App Store as a universal app. There’s also a Mac version available for $7.99 on the Mac App Store.
Update: Added a link to the Mac App and clarification about Dropbox.
Not sure whether this is a question or a feature request but here goes:
Reading speed test. My workflow; sftp server (mac-mini) files to ipad, edit using textastic, upload changes to server and run against node using ssh and the prompt app. test the changes using ios safari.
The part that works less well for me is trying to keep the server in sync. Is there an easy way to manage [added|deleted] [files|folders]? I am thinking a sync button which i can associate with a folder and it uses the local copy as the master (only local changes occur).
If this isn't currently possible then might i suggest a queue of pending ftp commands which watches for local changes? This could be managed by setting a folder as a 'project' and then the 'project' button could show a list of projects with an option to upload or download (completely replace local copy).
A spin off of this could be the ability to launch the preview browser in remote mode at the index.html of the project. This would save me app switching.
Or do i have the workflow all wrong?
