One feature that I would really like to see included in the next version of the product is something else excellent text editing environment, coda(an iOS app geared towards web app development) currently has an integrated SSH terminal.

The manuals for the iPad and iPhone editions of Textastic (Textastic is a universal app, meaning customers receive both versions within the single program purchased) are excellent and are freely available for download from the website. While I admit that having bookmarks adds metadata to text files, which makes sharing text files across platforms challenging, at least having the bookmarks available while the file lives solely in the Textastic environment would be a welcome productivity boost. There is still one feature missing compared to popular desktop text editors like sublime texteither text partneris the ability to create and retrieve bookmarks, something I use regularly, especially on large files. Using these special characters is also helpful when using Textastic's Find and Replace feature, as the feature supports regular expression searches for more precise results. After a while, this selection process becomes second nature. Swiping to the desired character will generate it within the document. Although these special keys are tiny on an iPhone screen, selecting these virtual keys is intuitive thanks to the way they can be tapped, expanding the various characters on the key to a larger size. Both iPhone and iPad feature a custom row of keys on the virtual keyboard that provides access to the most common programming characters, such as square brackets and brackets, vertical bar and hash symbols, and even multi-tab indents. Too bad it's only available in the iPad version.
But when an external keyboard is too bulky or unavailable, the navigation wheel comes in handy.

That said, the optimal Textastic experience is on an iPad Pro using Apple's Smart Keyboard (Textastic supports additional programmer-focused keyboard shortcuts when holding Command or Control on an external keyboard). You can also invoke a cursor navigation wheel on iPad for more precise directional movements by performing a two-finger tap within the editor. Swiping one finger left or right on the screen moves the text cursor one character, two fingers one word, and three fingers one section or paragraph at a time. Navigating text elements on an iPad or, even more challenging, an iPhone, may sound overwhelming, but Textastic greatly simplifies this basic need.
