If you are a Vim user and you edit a lot of Markdown files, this is the app for you! On iPad you edit and preview Markdown side-by-side (in landscape mode). The editor has Vim emulation, and automatically scrolls the preview pane as you scruff around in the editor. You can also see the headings in the Markdown document and scroll to a particular heading with a tap in the Outline Viewer. Cloud Storage There are two ways to use cloud storage. Choose one or the other (but not both): 1. Choose a folder on your Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive in *Settings* inside the app. 2. From your home screen, go to *Settings->Apps->Markdown Editor* and set *Document Storage* to your cloud drive. Folder Browser Use the *Folder Browser* to select which Markdown file to edit. By default the *Folder Browser* uses the app's Documents folder, but if you select a custom folder in *Settings* it will be used instead. Vim Emulation Because real Vim is hard to get working on iOS, this app uses vim emulation. That means not all features you may be used to are supported. Cloud Sync The app will automatically reload unchanged files when a remote change is detected. But because iOS does not reliably sync cloud drives in the background, this is not as useful as you might think. Often you will still have to open your drive in the Files app to force a sync. After you do, your remote changes should appear automatically in the editor. Smart Fallback to Insert Mode When your external keyboard is disconnected, the app will go to insert mode so you can still edit files with your onscreen keyboard. I like using this on iPhone, but it will work with any device. Note that you cannot use vim's normal mode with an onscreen keyboard. Also note that if you have devices connected that pretend to be keyboards (some mice do this), removing your keyboard will not trigger insert mode. On iPad, there is also a button in the toolbar to toggle the onscreen keyboard. You might also have to mess with the keyboard settings at the bottom of the screen to get the onscreen keyboard to show. Hide Markdown with Fold Markers Wrap Markdown content with Vim fold markers `{{{...}}}` to hide it in the preview (use the command `,[` in visual mode to quickly fold selected text). Device Compatibility This app has been tested on iPhones, 11” iPads, and 13” iPads.
