Is there a built in editor like nano or vim? #6

I am just curious if there is a text editor built in to LibTerm such as nano or vim. If not, would it be possible to create one or would iOS restrict that?

No there isn't for now. Vim and nano would be very difficult to integrate in LibTerm because, basically, the delete key doesn't work on LibTerm. I mean, when input is sent, the app waits the user tap "Return" because I could not make the backspace key work. Also for the cursor, and the terminal. iOS doesn't restrict that. In a separate app just made for running vim, it's easier and there are vim ports for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ivim/id1266544660?mt=8.

I will add a graphic text editor with syntax highlighting in LibTerm.

Ok thank you. I just want to be able to edit files from the command line.

I really love iVim and use it daily. Is there any chance you and the author of iVim could collaberate on a project to merge the two apps together.
