Does this make any sense without plugging an external keyboard?
- durandal1 15y agoEven just syntax highlighting and being able to use split windows makes it very useful for things like code review or just browsing code on an iPad.
- stevelosh 15y agoIt makes more sense than many other editors, since you get a ton of functionality without modifier keys thanks to the modal interface, but it's still way better with a bluetooth keyboard.
- awolf 15y agoYou don't need an external keyboard to type effectively on the iPad. It comes with practice.

- taofu 15y agoMy wrists went in a week. How on earth did you manage?
- awolf 15y agoJust like with a standard keyboard you need to get yourself in a decent ergonomic position before doing prolonged iPad typing. The temptation is a lot stronger on the iPad to fudge a little on the positioning which can very quickly be disastrous. Namely: 90 degree angle on the elbow joint while making sure you don't slant your wrists up to reach the keys.
