No CoffeeScript support for now but I'm working on a way to allow users to add their own syntax highlighting schemes.

Although not natively, you can configure DroidEdit to use git as long as you edit your code remotely via SFTP. There's a post where I explain how to do it here: http://droidedit.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/using-git-with-dro...

Ok, CoffeeScript would make me buy this :-)

SFTP is fine, but wouldn't this mean I need to be constantly online? Makes hacking in train harder... Though I suppose I could use this by SSHing to my chroot.

You only need to be online to open and save the file. You can switch apps and go back to DroidEdit and still have your file open, even if Android decides to kill DroidEdit in a low memory situation.

That is a good start. But since most of my projects consist of many files, still not fully optimal. Though, having the chrooted Ubuntu there helps with testing the code I wrote, too.
