I use an external keyboard which has an Esc key -- a Logitech K810 bluetooth keyboard which is very satisfactory for the purpose. That plus a stand that will allow me to set the iPad up either vertically or horizontally (usually the former but the latter when I need to run something side-by-side with vim) works well for me. In essence the iPad is being treated as a dumb terminal, so where I run vim I also have all my other files and programs available. Of course, I'm old enough to have been raised on server/client mainframe computing, so to me this seems perfectly natural. -- Peter King [email protected] Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42 -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
