Finally an awesome editor

Nickian

Just started using this app. So far it's perfect! Upload on save via FTP, control over the theme and font sizes, and optimized for the 6 plus are huge for me. I've tried nearly all of the other mobile coding apps. This is already my favorite. Thank you!


Best Mobile Text Editor Out There

GodDamnItFrank

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.


Great (though, some requests)

DannyNemer

Good application. The following requests can make it even better: 1) "Size: 0 B" below every directory table view cell is unnecessary. 2) Previews in the "Themes" section of Editor Settings. 3) Retain the last location/directory. Every time I open the app after it has not been held in memory, I must navigate back to where I was (often, requiring many taps). 4) Option to sort folders above files in directory list view. 5) File icons for different file types. (The gray rectangles everywhere does not look nice.) 6) The button in the navigation bar to create a new file/folder should be a "plus" glyph, not a meaningless three-horizontal-lines-thing.


Clean and Simple But...

It's great when I'm on the road and need to quickly get in to see what's going on and fix a bug quickly. However... It keeps crashing upon saving a file... Not sure why that is.


Crashes when opening large files

onyx-4

I'm trying to open up a large text file 30MB to review and it crashes. This is the only reason I purchased this app. I hope they fix it and will change my rating.


Awesome text editor!

Doriphor

The best way to code on an iPhone! Could we get rust support and maybe code autocomplete?


exit insert mode

GameJokey

cant exit insert mode with Ctrl+[


Decent editor but terrible file manager

Wildog!

Can't even download remote file to local or vice versa


Can't open in or be a target for open in

Raritea

As a minimum for an iOS editor you should be able to be a target for open in and be able to export to other apps that support open in. I can open my file in Evernote but not buffer. Wasted $4.


Keyboard needs to be extended.

Gbb21

Simple keyboard is not good enough. Number and symbols are needed.
