I wanted to mention a new open source project Xed-Editor.

Additionally, I think the (virtual) keyboard you use is just as important as the editor (assuming you aren't using a physical keyboard). I would recommend Unexpected Keyboard I have had a great experience with it.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'm trying Unexpected Keyboard right now.

It's very nice 😊🤩

I'm going to try Unexpected. The swipe for symbol reminds me of my favourite on-screen keyboard, Fitaly. Unfortunately, nobody ever made it available for modern smartphones.

Edit: The main thing I see missing is the option to swipe for uppercase. That may be possible in settings, but I didn't see it in a quick glance.

I don't know about swipe for uppercase, but you can hold caps lock to toggle it.

I saw that. When I get a bit more time, I'll dig through their custom layout to see what I can figure out.

Thanks.
