To be honest, Ed.
When I’m forced to edit text on my phone (eg. to fix a broken server while on the go), I ssh in and fire up ed. This is what takes the less screen space on my already to small screen, and because it’s line oriented the screen doesn’t bounce/resize/screw up when the keyboard appears/disappear.
It is the standard text editor after all.
Neovim or helix in termux
Or
Acode
vim on Termux (i run a webserver on an old Android phone)
Did you tweak the OS somehow or did you setup the webserver fully on stock Android?
I use Lineage OS and just run nginx in Termux.
I’ve been using vscode in firefox via tunnel to my main machine on my android tablet and it’s been working well enough
A long time ago I remember building a version of VS Code for Android that worked OK. Dunno if that’s still available.
I wanted to mention a new open source project Xed-Editor.
Additionally, I think the (virtual) keyboard you use is just as important as the editor (assuming you aren’t using a physical keyboard). I would recommend Unexpected Keyboard I have had a great experience with it.
I’m going to try Unexpected. The swipe for symbol reminds me of my favourite on-screen keyboard, Fitaly. Unfortunately, nobody ever made it available for modern smartphones.
Edit: The main thing I see missing is the option to swipe for uppercase. That may be possible in settings, but I didn’t see it in a quick glance.
I don’t know about swipe for uppercase, but you can hold caps lock to toggle it.
I saw that. When I get a bit more time, I’ll dig through their custom layout to see what I can figure out.
Thanks.
Termux, install proot and a DE, then VSCode
I’ve always got my VPN on so I ssh into my machines and run neovim
