You can also tap and hold the : key on Pythonista's extra keyboard row for an undo option.

@dgelessus Ah, okay, it's sometimes hard to tell because spam bots scrape stackoverflow etc., but there wasn't a link here...

I’m guessing most people who frequent this forum already have Pythonista, but just in case you’ve been holding off, or know someone to gift it to: Pythonista is currently 50% off on the App Store, until Sunday, to celebrate Pi day (3/14).

If you want to do me a HUGE favor, please go and post a 5-star review on the App Store (scroll down in Pythonista’s settings and tap “Rate Pythonista”) – only if you really like the app, of course, but it helps a lot to have some recent reviews up there, and even just a star rating would be much appreciated. Thanks!

@JonB Yes, I'm using a pregenerated keyword index, though I guess using jedi to extract docstrings could be an interesting option as well, might be more accessible than a script hook.

@cvp That's certainly true (and thanks for the kind words!), and I can definitely see both use cases, but running a script hook would allow you to do that as well, I guess.

@cvp I don't know, I would guess that augmenting the search results with online sources could potentially be more useful, not sure though.

I'm truly impressed by what you've been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time! It might even make sense to provide a built-in hook for this kind of thing, not quite sure yet about the implications.

I'm not sure, but could you try launching Pythonista in "Safe Mode"? You can enable this in the Settings app (search for Pythonista there).

If you're currently viewing the file browser, you have to swipe left twice to get to the interactive prompt, but make sure that you swipe anywhere except on the keyboard.

With an external keyboard, you can also get to the prompt by pressing Cmd+J, maybe followed by Cmd+Return (in case the keyboard isn't already active in the editor).

Pythonista supports split-screen multi-tasking on most iPads (if it’s not a very old one), and of course only if whatever app you’re using to read the book also supports it. Having multiple Pythonista “windows” is currently not supported, but you wouldn’t need that to put an eBook next to Pythonista.
