Just out of curiosity: does anyone use touchscreen functionality while coding?
It seems like devs generally consider productivity as keyboard > mouse, and I'd assume that mouse > touchscreen, but I've never tried it.
- ews 6y agoI do sometimes on my dell xps 13 (scrolling, not selecting)
- pps 6y agoCodeMirror is sometimes integrated into notes apps. Roam, Logseq, etc.
- comex 6y agoI have on occasion attempted to use https://play.rust-lang.org https://play.rust-lang.org and https://gcc.godbolt.org/ https://gcc.godbolt.org/ from my phone. Both are sites where you enter standalone snippets of code (in C or Rust respectively) and get back compiler output: useful when I’m checking up on obscure corners of language semantics, usually for the sake of some sort of internet discussion (and/or for fun). Both sites use fancy JavaScript-based editor widgets (not sure which ones) instead of raw textareas. Unfortunately, on my iPhone these hurt more than they help. On the former site I can’t copy or paste; on the latter, I can’t even bring up the keyboard. It’s not the end of the world; I can always wait until I get back to my laptop. But it would be nice if I didn’t have to.
