Getting there but not ready for a real vim replacement – Buffer Editor - Code Editor Review
Usually I use termius and ssh into a server with vim installed and just edit files that way. This is less than ideal on an iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard since there is no escape keyboard. Also there are latency issues with using vim over ssh, especially while traveling.
This editor is great in helping with those times, but the vim mode is still missing quite a bit of things:
* ctrl + { should jump up the file in between code blocks.
* ctrl + } should jump down the file in between code blocks.
* ctrl + v visual vertical select
* escape is not a toggle. You should remain in command mode from repeatedly press escape.
* B, W don't work
There is also features I miss from vim plugins themselves:
* Fuzzy search for files.
* Horizontal and vertical splits.
* Tabs
* File tree view in editor
Thanks to the developer for the initial work! I hope we continue to see more development so this can a full time editor for me.
