I use vim on termux on my phone all the time. Its great. Also use it for ssh almost daily.

simo002m5867y@RuntimeError I would recommend "hackers keyboard" or holding down volume up+q to enable keys such as esc, tab etc.

@RuntimeError I remapped escape to the character string jj because its something easy and I never type that in real life.

I love it. It just works. I use it over juicessh so i can have *solarized* agnoster via fish but thats just some fine tuning

It's nice when a great new idea you have is fairly easy to implement and works well.
My latest idea involves running my discord bot, written in nodejs off of my phone using a terminal app (that doesn't require rooting my phone).
Once I got a branch of the project with no voice support, I wrote a bash script in vim on my phone (an odd experience, I assure you) and ran it.
Things have been working well, far better than trying to use PhoneGap to build something that would run it.
All in all, I'm pretty satisfied, and it was a fun and relatively painless project! (thankfully)
