I know, I know, but haven’t you wanted to jot down some pseudocode while out and about, formatted neatly, so you could pop it over to your main machine to turn into working code?
Then probably Pydroid 3, as it supports TK, Kivy etc. If you actually want to compile and run various languages you could use Termux, as it basically exposes the fully fledged Linux machine better known as your Android.
Thanks! I’ll have to give it a look! I currently have Termux, but was wondering about others, although maybe I should have asked for Termux packages instead. 😅
I tried Micro briefly but its interface doesn’t seem to have been as well adjusted for mobile.
I mean yeah but not anywhere near badly enough to be willing to deal with a phone keyboard…
Whatever notetaking app you use? If it’s just jotting down some things I came up with on the go it won’t be anything I need a whole ass IDE for, and I don’t think I do anything like that often enough to need even a lightweight plaintext editor for that. I guess you could try use vim with termux, sounds like a pain in the arse with a phone keyboard though…
Couldn’t put it better myself.

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.
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.
Neovim or helix in termux
Or
Acode
I’ve always got my VPN on so I ssh into my machines and run neovim
ACode
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.
Thank you for your suggestions. I’m trying Unexpected Keyboard right now.
It’s very nice 😊🤩
I used emacs with termux to do Advent of Code this year
On your phone? As someone who lives in emacs and has done aoc in the past, I’m impressed
yep. in common lisp!
I did do some during downtime on the deskop at work. so it wasn’t quite as extreme as it sounds. the worst part was the limited width of the screen. A bluetooth keyboard would have helped a lot, that’s for sure.
Termux, install proot and a DE, then VSCode
I’ve been using vscode in firefox via tunnel to my main machine on my android tablet and it’s been working well enough
