Why not just SSH into vim?
- mmahemoff 14y agoThere's also an app that's a proper port (though not very full-featured). http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/23/vim-for-ipad-iphone/ http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/23/vim-for-ipad-iphone/ But there's a big problem, even if you have a physical keyboard: No escape key. Oh well, I live in hope.

- mmahemoff 14y agoSo I can't go down two lines? I did inoremap q, which is not too bad if you're typing English prose. But still.
- nickbarnwell 14y agoIf you are already in Normal mode there's nothing to escape from, thus it's entirely possible to navigate down two lines. I find myself typing q quite often in day to day programming (it appears in 'frequency', 'query', 'quote', all important in my application), whereas jj is a sequence that appears in ~four words in English %w{hajj hajjes hajji hajjis}
- farmdawgnation 14y agoCoding over SSH is a pain using crappy coffee shop wifi. Much easier to make a change, then push it up to the server via SFTP when you're done. Maybe I'm just anal retentive, but I can tolerate a bit of a lag when punching in compile commands, etc, but not when writing code. Instantaneous response is essential to flow!
