I have tried resizing the font (advanced age in combination with poor eyes) to larger than the standard 14 points but it does not change. Have tried both pinch-zoom and :ifont set but no luck

Vim, of course, works best with a hardware keyboard. Mostly it works well, but special keys like <Ctrl> and <Esc> are not recognized properly.

• <Esc> doesn't seem to work at all: I must use the software keyboard to enter this.
• <Ctrl> seems to register (so that <C-a> is different from a), but <C-a> seems to do nothing. For example, if in normal mode I type <C-a> over a number, nothing happens, though typing just a does what's expected.

I should add that I normally use the Dvorak layout on my external keyboard, but the problem remains if I switch back to the standard US keyboard. (Incidentally, one issue with other iOS apps with Dvorak keyboards is that entering codes ignores the Dvorak layout. For example, hitting the s key when in Dvorak layout will enter o, but holding down the Ctrl key while hitting the s key wrongly enters <C-s> when it should enter <C-o>.)

Quit when cloning,and iplug list say that I have 0 plugin installed. But I can see 28 folders in ~/.vim/pack/ivim/start Test :Goyo and the interface shows that plugin Goyo works. Wired.

I want to use Defx and it requires other two plugin and Python Module neovim whose dependencies are pynvim greenlet Is it possible to integrated these modules into iVim?

Hi,

I have been using iVim on an iPad connected to an external monitor via a USB-C adapter.

Expected behaviour: iVim is useable on an external monitor and appears the same way it appears on the iPad screen. This is how iVim behaved in version 2.28.

Actual behaviour: The iPad displays iVim like it used to, but the external monitor now only displays the file browser. The file browser also cannot be interacted with via keyboard nor Bluetooth mouse.

This is what I see on my iPad:

This is what I see on my external monitor:

Is it possible to restore the old method of handling an external monitor? Thank you!

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for making this wonderful port of VIM!

Unfortunately, my installation of iVim broke down in version 2.45 (on iPadOS 15.2). The app does not even start saying invalid value ‘’ set to option 'guifont'. The current font 'Source Code Pro' is not changed.

At first, I thought it could be my fault as there could be some options set in .vimrc by me. However, there is nothing related to fonts there. Also, running the app with -u NONE does not help. So I am not sure how to proceed.

I just updated to the new release. I have some files that are encrypted on my icloud and I can't read them anymore.

All the previous versions could decrypt correctly, but now it just appears as if I don't have the right password.

Tried it with other files and still does not work. The files are not corrupted since I still can open it with the vi from my Mac with the right decrypting key.

The new window to enter the decryption key is nice, if it could work ;-)

Thanks Daniel

I’m using Working Copy, and can open files using idoc perfectly, but is it possible to set the working directory to a Working Copy repo base directory? I often need to jump between numerous files, and while I haven’t tried installing any plugins yet (I use ctrl+p on my laptop), being able to browse to files using :e rather than through the idoc UI all the time would be a huge timesaver.

I am hesitant to import files to the iVim workspace as this will require exporting back to Working Copy in order to commit / sync / etc.

Since this new version, opening an encrypted file from iCloud-Drive does not show the encryption dialog, instead it opens an empty file in vim.

The previous version was opening a dialog to ask for the password, then opened the file correctly decoded.

Thanks!

Daniel

This adds a new app setting to map ctrl to esc on release. That is if ctrl (either physical or mapped by iVim/iOS) is pressed and released without any other keys pressed, it'll act as an escape key.

I've just installed Blink and, at their suggestion, iVim. My first action was to use :help ios to read the docs ...

but scrolling down past the very first screen hangs iVim immediately requiring a force quit to recover.

I'm on an iPad, ios 12.0 beta. It does not seem to happen on my iPhone X running 11.4.1

My iPhone case has a raised edge around the screen. This makes it difficult to type slash and question mark by swiping up and right or down and right, on the colon key (the right most key, above the ‘p’ key).

A possible solution

Currently there is about a two key gap in the middle.

One solution might be to remove the gap, and center the keys in the middle.

A one key gap on each side, seems like enough to make it a lot easier to type slash and question mark.

Hello,

as I want to use Markdown for notetaking I also want to preview that Markdown. I know there is :ipreview but I think that looks ugly :) (No offense). Is there a possibility to either install another Markdown Parser or change the style the built in one has? Thanks again and have a nice day!

After the iPadOS 16 upgrade, when Cmd-Period is pressed, iVim now interprets the keypress as <D-.> rather than <Esc>. The somewhat other more cross-platform convention of <C-]> continues to work fine.

The workaround is to map <D-.> to <Esc>, which makes iVim work as it did yesterday. Weirdly, it seems that all over iPadOS 16, Cmd-Period works perfectly well as <Esc> just as it has for every Apple OS since 1984 so it doesn't seem like an intended change to the OS.

iVim no longer uses the full height of the screen following an OS update. I do not use any of the on screen keyboard features, and keep it disabled at all times.

That is my question. I have no idea how realistic it is.

I know that other iOS apps have access to iCloud Drive. Certainly Apple’s Pages, Numbers, and Notes apps do. I believe many non-Apple apps do.

I assume, perhaps naively, that the circumstances that make it possible for apps on Apple’s mobile devices to have access to iCloud Drive are related to those that made the :iexdir command possible.

If so, could iVim come with access to iCloud Drive built in? Perhaps that would be inconsistent with vim philosophy. It would likely make iVim even more attractive as a vim editor for Apple mobile devices.
