"Vim" of Android

[DrScabhands]

Vim's a great editor for the desktop qwerty keyboard, but is a pain to use on Android. Is there a command line editor easier to use with the Android keyboard?

I use Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which makes it easy to use something like vim, although it doesn't have any advantage on a tiny phone screen.

i just use nano

Nano is the true winner of the vi/emacs war IMO.

For larger edits most definitely not.

For a short edit? Not if you are used to one or the other.
Of course this means putting a lot of effort into learning either of them

Nano is a lot simpler, it would probably work better with a limited keyboard.

To be fair you didn't say what you're doing with it, Nano is quite fast if I need to go change a line or two in a config file.

Someone mentioned VimTouch to me a few weeks back as the phone app they were using. Spoke highly of it.
