#2I'm getting a little bit of anxiety just reading about this. I hate typing on phone especially if the text haa symbols mixed in. I mistype a lot more often on phone and often somehow skip entire words. (Don't know what the cause of this is.)
I am guessing they using some specialised keyboard that makes it easier to type symbols etc.

Or maybe they spent more time thinking before writing so they didn't have to rewrite it so much.
Either way, very painful

I would guess termux and a bluetooth keyboard perhaps?

#9I use Neovim on Termux as well occasionally. With the right macros it's not too bad to write on phone. Fun for little stuff and languages that do not require tons of brackets.

I understand why we ended up with touch screens but I do miss physical keyboards. Swipe typing is fast-ish - but only for dictionary words, not punctuation, etc.
