Haven't been here in a good while. Got comfortable with my Vim setup and didn't need so much help. (I'm a writer, not a programmer.) Then retired and have not been using Vim much.

I was very surprised to see this. I tried the only Vim app available for iPad around the time I got my first iPad. I quickly abandoned it. On reading the above I checked out the iVim version in the App Store, saw uniform high praise in the comments, and installed it. It's gonna take me awhile to refresh my Vim competency—such as it was, though adequate for my needs—but I'm glad to have access to it again.

I understand it's not possible to install Vim plugins under iOS. Disappoints me, as I made use of several in my configuration. Is it even possible to set up a .vimrc?

Would appreciate hearing about others experiences with Vim on the iPad.
