I assume you mean with a Bluetooth keyboard? (Not sure the built in has the right keys?)

You should install black mamba, which has some editor shortcuts, which I believe you can customize.

Stash (GitHub.com\ywangd\stash) is something you should also install, as it lets you use a bash-like shell within pythonista. But it doesn't have vim currently.

If you are brave, you could try porting https://github.com/prompt-toolkit to the stash terminal, which would let you use pyvim.

Just recently found pythonista and even though I rarely use python I am very impressed and excited to work with it. The only thing keeping me away is not being able to edit "VIM"-style. Has anyone got a solution or tips around this? I tried googling, found some broken link and a link to a vim-app which I for one cannot figure out how to navigate to pythonista scripts if that is even possible, but in any case going outside the pythonista environment feels like it defeats the purpose. Grateful for any comments or tips surrounding this, keep in mind I'm still a pythonista newbie.

@ccc use the alpine package manager

apk add python3

Other useful packages

apk add py3-virtualenv
apk add py3-pip
apk add vim

Don't forget to run apk update before any installs.

I've just started exploring iSH and I'm super impressed with the project.

What you gain is extreme flexibility. What you lose out on - that you had with Pythonista - was a supreme UI experience.

Hi everyone,

I love everything about Pythonista on my iPad - it's where I'm most productive; so much so that I dread having to spin up the PC to run or test a piece of code where the dependencies won't work with Pythonista.

Using an SSH app (blink) and a virtual private server to an Ubuntu instance (digital Ocean) is turning out to be a decent halfway house, using the Vim text editor, and tmux to keep long programs running on the cloud.

Not sure if anyone else does this.

And if so, curious if anyone has ventured as far as to customise their vimrc file to resemble the Pythonista environment (key bindings, auto complete, file browser, etc?).

Cheers!

@cvp Don't know if it is related to any problem but when I create a new outline and touch the 1.0 to begin entering text, the line disappears for a moment and then comes back. I hadn't noticed this on earlier releases but perhaps it was there all along.

@cvp on the theory that a picture (in this case, a video) is worth 1000 words:

You will see that in this video the text entered before reaching the edge of the split screen is lost. However, the problem manifested itself differently when I first reported it. Instead of losing the text, the script started a new outline item with the text entered at the edge of the screen. Hopefully, these problems are somehow related.

I have no idea what the post from manupaul47 is about.

Am I wrong, I think the second move should be refused, is it true?

just arrived at my first intermediate step, move error seems to complex to be resolved during holidays

Wish list multiple level undo.
