Hi Nelo,



what a nice coincidence ... :)

Thank you very much for your reply and the link into the thread! :)

Background:
I have Android Lollipop on my device, running Android Terminal
Emulator (mentioned in the thread), I installed Linux Deploy
(mentioned in the thread) to deploy a Linux rootfs onto the device.
I used Jiuce (mentioned in the thread) to connect to the running Linux
and use The Hackerkeyboard (mentioned in the thread) to type.
And I am missing a native port of vim to the Androis GUI (so they do
in the thread).
Unfortunately "Terminal IDE" is not running under Android Lollipop...
But I compiled vim on the Linux rootfs. But it is somehow isolated
from the rest of the device.
The vi which comes with busybox and is installed on the device itself
is somehow strange and build for being small and an editor in case
of emergencies (adb shell or for solving bootloops etc...).

I will further waiting for either an (working) update of vimtouch
or for another integration of vim into the Android GUI.

Thanks a lot for linking the interesting thread!
Best regards,
Meino
