Not tested on a device yet. What that means

XVile in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own xvile package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so XVile should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Utilities work with the files in your Linux home folder and, once Device files is granted, with your Android folders too. More about utilities in Breadstick.

About XVile

From Debian's package description

vile is a text editor which is extremely compatible with vi in terms of ``finger feel''. In addition, it has extended capabilities in many areas, notably multi-file editing and viewing, syntax highlighting, key rebinding, an optional embedded perl interpreter, and real X window system support.

This package contains the X11 binary. Required support files are contained in vile-common. Source code highlighting filters are in vile-filters. A character-mode binary is in the vile package.

From Debian's description of the xvile package, under that package's license.
