VimTouch: Mobile Text Editor Apps

VimTouch is a mobile text editor app for iOS that emulates the Vim keyboard shortcuts and commands, allowing you to edit text quickly and efficiently on your iPhone or iPad.

What is VimTouch?

VimTouch is a robust text and code editor app for iOS that emulates the keyboard shortcuts and modality of Vim, the popular text editor for developers and power users. It brings Vim's highly efficient and customizable editing features to your iPhone or iPad.

With VimTouch, you can quickly navigate, edit, copy/paste, and manage files and documents on your mobile device using Vim keyboard shortcuts you already know. It provides modes, modifiers, registers, macros, and other Vim features to let you text edit on the go as efficiently as you would on the desktop.

Unlike other mobile text apps, VimTouch uses modal editing with multiple modes (normal, insert, visual, etc.) along with positional arrow keys for fast navigation. You can compose documents or code quickly by combining Vim shortcuts rather than tapping buttons on the screen.

VimTouch also supports rich text formatting, syntax highlighting for code, find/replace across multiple files, split window editing, working with remote files, automation with JavaScript macros, and other advanced features you'd expect from a capable coding editor.

If you're already a Vim user on desktop, VimTouch allows you to edit with the same keyboard-driven approach on your mobile device. It brings the power and flexibility of Vim to iOS for efficient mobile text and code editing.
