^W to delete a word works perfectly.
I'm running Termux on a Samsung Chromebook 3. Can you explain what you're running, so we can try to see why it doesn't work for you?
Also, don't forget, you can run Termux in the background, with an sshd, and then run any SSH client you want to talk to it --- which puts the copy and paste into your control.
Also, Termux is open source... So, if you have ideas about Copy and Paste, you can try to implement them.
To switch application windows in Termux, Control-Alt-C makes a new window, Control-Alt-N goes to next, Control-Alt-P goes to previous. It works great, and is super quick.
You can run multiple Termux Application Windows, and then you can run multiple SSH clients, so multiple monitors will work.
I know some of these are kind of hacks, but I'm just trying to be helpful.
Android Apps do handle the mouse terribly, no argument.
- rkeene2 9y agoI'm running on an Acer Chromebook 15 (x86, 4GB of RAM). For me Control-W closes the Termux window. For me Control-Alt-N switches between sessions, which all live in the same physical window, which I cannot figure out how to open multiple of. It seems like your suggestion is to use Termux just to run an SSH server locally and then use another, non-Android SSH client, to deal with the fact that Android apps on ChromeOS work terribly UI-wise. That's a good idea, it leads me to my next problem: It lives in a separate IP address space from ChromeOS... I have some weird IP address inside the ARC that is not the same IP as ChromeOS... I did not try to SSH to that address from ChromeOS though, does it work ?
- VikingCoder 9y agoIt is in a different space, yes, but you can ifconfig to find it's IP and go from there. I've run webservers from Termux and browsed them from Chrome. And I've read about people doing the SSH thing. To be honest, I still can't browse a Termux server from a different machine, and I've spent a while trying.
- rkeene2 9y ago^W and other keys are now working after the latest ChromeOS update, so maybe it was just an older version. The rest of the issues remain.
