Sadly, Pythonista doesn’t yet offer support for mouse/trackpad on the iPad, but you’d hope that will come in an update soon, as that would make moving the cursor within code much more precise. Pythonista has built-in keyboard shortcuts, but as you can see a row of common special characters is also available on screen. If you’re using the iPad in laptop mode with a keyboard attached, you can use the splitscreen feature, allowing you to have a textbook or GitHub open on one side of the screen and Pythonista in the other: For example, if you’re changing the colour of something, you’ll get a preview of that colour on screen as you type the colour’s name, as shown below:
Start typing a previously defined variable, for example, and it will appear in the auto-complete dropdown as you type, allowing you to dab the Tab key and avoid any unfortunate typos. What has Pythonista 3 got to offer? Well, like most modern code editors, the Pythonista 3 one comes with coloured syntax highlighting and code completion. So, proceed with caution if you’re a dyed-in-the-wool developer, because I’m not going to be diving neck deep into advanced features. Indeed, I’m very much in the beginner camp, still teaching myself how to code from textbooks. I’ll start by confessing I’m no Python expert.
