Grabbed it on a sale (thanks) and love that I can directly clone and edit github as others mentioned. Has a slight learning curve (setting and user guide takes a few taps and scrolls to read), feels like this is tailor made for people used to vim’s style. Auto completing quotes didn’t work all the time (turns out its because I didn’t name the file with an extension). Some functions only gets undo by using software keyboard not cmd+z, for example when tabbing multiple lines using the software tab key (is it a magic keyboard/iOS limitation that hardware tab key deletes selection with a tab character?), or after search and replace. Also would it be possible to have redo shortcut as well for non-vim mode?Another minor UI issue is that the software keyboard buttons messes with the ipad built-in swipe from the bottom functions when using a hardware keyboard.

I tried almost every iPad editor available (as of 2020). For what I need — adding an SSH connection and editing remote files — this app finally nailed it. I had an SSH connection running within minutes, you can navigate your remote file structure in the left-hand pane, tap a file to open, type with streamlined highlighting, and save (cmd-s) to immediately upload your changes to the remote server. I admit that this is a pretty low bar, but no other app accomplishes it! You get tabs for multiple open files, and a basic remote terminal. Also, I really appreciated the ability to customize the font/size/spacing and theme — I finally have the Atom “One Dark” theme back that I missed from my Mac! I feel more productive already :)

The app really seems to lack behind Textastic in most areas of usability and is really badly polished.Here are the annoyances I had while using the app:- The is an annoying and significant slowdown whenever a key on the keyboard is pressed.- searching for text (which I could only figure out how to do by pressing cmd+f on my hardware keyboard) does not show you the text that you are searching for- changes made during the weird text searching does not get added to the undo buffer, so changes are permanent (and it is really hard to see the cursor during text replacement)- the file browser is generally unintuitive and only allows you to delete and rename files. - the stinking file browser stays on the left side of the screen for the entire time you’re editing a file- syntax highlighting is SUPER limited. The C syntax highlighting did not even recognize “uint” or “bool”- auto-closing parenthesis, brackets, and quotations does not work- Settings are unorganized and thrown into a single menuThere are many many more annoyances but those are the problems I discovered after 5 minutes of usingI would not be distracted by the UI eye candy… Looks good but does not function well.

Finally an iOS editor with vim bindings. I love the ability to edit files over ssh.A few feature requests:1) I would love for better '.' support. It doesn't completely mimic the repeat feature in vim. For example, if I press the following in command mode: 'A #test' I get the appropriate response where the cursor moves to the end of the line and inserts '#test'. But when I press '.', the cursor doesn't move to the end of the line (which vim would do) but instead inserts '#test' wherever the cursor is.2) It would be nicer for a larger escape key. I'm on a 6 plus and the esc key is tiny compared to the rest of my keys.3) Tabs.3) Ability to edit remote git repositories. This is obviously a big request but I think every software engineer is looking a feature like this.4) Ability to run commands via ssh and read the output of said command. This is also a big request. The ability to run commands is an advantage that an ssh connect has over this editor.Overall fantastic editor. It really improves my workflow. Keep up the good work.

So far, I really enjoy this app, and I love that I don't need working copy to access github. However, while the auto-complete features are already great, I feel as though this app still lags a bit behind Textastic in terms of productivity. For me, the biggest issue is the lack of emmet, which is something I've become used to using in every text editor I've used to date; I really hope to see it appear in a future release. As the app is right now, despite costing the same, it's just not quite on par with Textastic yet, but the way things are going, I have hope that that will change soon!

I love it!!!!! This is the best programmer's editor on ios, period. It works seamlessly with Dropbox and it is highly vi compatible. After all, vi is the perfect solution to apple's stubborn refusal to include cursor movement keys in their devices. With vi you always have hjkl. Asm, they give you an escape key you don't have to change case twice to find. All good.The only thing wrong with this app is it needs support for Verilog. It's not that different from c highlighting rules. How about adding it, huh.....hint,hint. I'll be happy to help you specify the functionality.Anyway THANK YOU for a great program
