I use Termux to ssh to my home system and access my Emacs session and also various shell stuff. I do my email, chat, notetaking and everyday Emacs things this way. I access this same Emacs session from my desktop, laptop and phone.
Been doing this since the Treo 650 days (pssh) and then Connectbot and nowadays Termux on Android. I always use phones with a physical keyboard, must have had a dozen different ones over the decades.
A big advantage of this workflow is consistency. For example chat systems come and go, each with their own wacky UI. But for me they are all IRC buffers in my Emacs session, configured just the way I wanted it.
- nanomonkey 4y agoI tried doing this in the past on an Android tablet, and was unable to get the caps lock switched with the ctrl key. Any suggestions on making this work, or do you do without?
- donio 4y agoDo you mean with a BT keyboard attached to the tablet? One approach is to use keymapper: market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper&hl=en_US&gl=US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds1... github: https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.sds100.keymapper/ https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.sds100.keymapper/ It's a very versatile tool, can be handy even if you don't have a keyboard. It is also possible to use custom keyboard layouts but I don't have a link handy for that.
- nanomonkey 4y agoYes, on a bluetooth keyboard. I downloaded something similar to keymapper back in the day, the only paid app that I've purchased for android, and even it wasn't able to get any bluetooth keyboards to play nicely. I'll try this out. Thanks again.
