Vim Touch for Android

Well, Jeroen, I did it. Got myself a 32 GB Nexus 10. Now that I've had a little---very little---experience with it I may return it and exchange it for a Nexus 7, since I envision the machine, whichever version, as being used almost exclusively to run Vim.

I have Vim Touch installed and Vim Touch runtime downloaded. Wasn't sure how to install the latter. A response on the Vim Touch google group explained that I should click on extra downloads in the android menu for the app and select the runtime extension from there. I went through the motions but got no report of any action. I'm not sure whether the runtime extension has been added or not.

Also uncertain what I do to replicate---as near as possible; you and others have indicated it should close to perfect---the Vim installation on my MacBook.

I have a concern about android. When I went to download the hacker's keyboard I noticed that the permissions indicated that I would be giving pretty complete access to my entire system to anyone who wanted access to it. It even cautions "malicious apps may share contact data without your knowledge." I understand that this is standard for the android OS, and with few exceptions most apps. Perhaps I don't understand, but as I understand I find this disturbing.

Any help you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated.
