Termux on my $95 Kindle Fire is more useful than anything I’ve yet encountered on iPadOS simply because of the execrable keyboard options available on the iPad.
There are great prices on wonderful M1 iPads right now, and I love my MacBook Air, so I got this year’s iPad Air.
You must be joking.
After hours of futility, I am forced to accept that Apple still has no API for adding Control Escape arrow keys to keyboard apps.
While I can use the hard coded keyboard option in the great a-Shell app, I can’t customize it. And I can’t use its keyboard in Safari for online Visual Studio Code or Colab notebooks.
With Termux, I set up a keyboard via a simple text config file. Done. And for a general system keyboard, in a pinch I can use a the “Hacker Keyboard” keyboard app. It’s ugly but it works.
Please tell me I’m taking crazy pills and that there’s a keyboard app that solves this.
No, I can’t use a hardware external keyboard in this use case.
