Vim

When using an external keyboard under iOS 14, there is no way to type the space, The same set up, iVim is working fine with all the keys.

I wanted to use my magic keyboard with my ipad and use vim, but the space bar wouldn’t work. It’s extremely buggy. Would not suggest it.

When an external keyboard (magic keyboard 2) is connected, the esc key is not recognized. Without esc, vim is useless.

I use vim on the desktop all the time, but this app is nowhere ready for prime time. You need access to special keys to be productive, including backslash (which is remapped to esc). Check out iVim instead—it has a special row.

This was an impressive proof-of-concept for porting vim to the iPad. Applidium deserves full credit to get the ball started on this and making their efforts open source. However, the app was never designed to actually be usable (broken font rendering, no way to actually open/close files, no ios-specific usability enhancements, etc). Even the recent beta update left much to be desired. Fortunately, others have continued the development. Currently, the iVim app is the actually useable version of this. Applidium should probably remove this from the app store at this point and contribute to the continued development of iVim instead.

Not sure the use case of this, but like it’s vim. I want to pull in some plugins and update my .vimrc, but I’m not sure if that’s possible, but at the same time, I’m just happy this exists.

Thank you developer! Vim app is my saver! I understand full function is hard in iOS, but It is crutial to copy and paste from Vim and other App. So star(*) register needed to be clipboard register just like computer Vim. Command line error occured!!! - Found error :ls >> error !!!! :echo hi >>> backgroud error occured!

Soon iOS 11 will not support 32bit apps anymore, and this will no longer work.

Great contribution and commendable effort to bring and keep these tools alive. I used vi and later vim in my long years of computer programming, and system engineering. One suggestion. Can the font issue be fixed?

App is out of date.
