I know, I know, but haven't you wanted to jot down some pseudocode while out and about, formatted neatly, so you could pop it over to your main machine to turn into working code?

Then probably Pydroid 3, as it supports TK, Kivy etc. If you actually want to compile and run various languages you could use Termux, as it basically exposes the fully fledged Linux machine better known as your Android.

Thanks! I'll have to give it a look! I currently have Termux, but was wondering about others, although maybe I should have asked for Termux packages instead. 😅

I tried Micro briefly but its interface doesn't seem to have been as well adjusted for mobile.

I mean yeah but not anywhere near badly enough to be willing to deal with a phone keyboard...

Whatever notetaking app you use? If it's just jotting down some things I came up with on the go it won't be anything I need a whole ass IDE for, and I don't think I do anything like that often enough to need even a lightweight plaintext editor for that. I guess you could try use vim with termux, sounds like a pain in the arse with a phone keyboard though...

hey now, get an otg adapter and a keyboard and its probably halfway useful.

Couldn't put it better myself.
