I love termux.
The virtual keyboard integration is neat:
* Volume keys do ctrl and alt
* You can type into an intermediate text area to use the usual glide typing and spell checking.
Stuff that caught me out:
The root apps repository needs to be manually enabled. `pkg install root-repo`
Swiping from the left edge lets you manage multiple sessions.
My only problem is not being able to fully use an external SD card.
- Ultramanoid 8y agoWhat problems do you have with external SD cards ? I use Termux and don't keep any data in-device, always in encrypted SD cards via device reader or attached via USB OTG. I haven't had any issues. Edit : My devices are rooted.
- therealmarv 8y agoI'm also interested if you can use a sdcard fully with termux without root. I think it's not possible. As far as I know you can only use a specific path like described here: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/954#issuecomment-448199494 https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/954#issuecomment... But a specific path is not a big deal once you get accustomed to it.. the external sdcard is anyway mostly a FAT serial number path so going a few levels deeper is not a big deal. btw: Just finished a rsync transfer to sdcard with Termux today ;)
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoYeah termux is amazing but it has some discoverability issues. It took me ages to discover that long-pressing the keyboard button pulls up the helper bar. I don't know that I ever did find docs for how to use some of the Android interop features (widget, share to termux, etc.).
