Comments about Termux Android Version

Can do the job, but plenty of room for improvements. Mainly with the actual interface. Improve copy/paste, CLI cursor navigation, perhaps even code snippets we can one-click run. I don't need a whole bunch of bells and whistles like other apps have, and they can't do what this can, but improving this would make it near top-tier for almost every use case.
Great app!! But it's apparently not working correctly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A with 8'' screen I bought a few nights ago. Characters aren't appearing on the screen immediately after being pressed on the onscreen keyboard. But a sequence of characters appears after I press the spacebar. I looked online, and other people say they're having the same problem. When will this problem be fixed? I don't know if it's a problem with Termux, or the onscreen keyboard, or other part of the Samsung Galaxy, or some combination of those three, etc. But Termux seems to work fine on my larger Samsung Galaxy, and on my OnePlus 6t smart phone.
It's an amazing terminal with lots of features, but it needs another way to open the session selector. Modern Pixel phones (and maybe others) use the swipe-from-the-edge gesture as the Back button. Sometimes I can get the session selector to open using two fingers, which Android send to ignore about half the time, but it's not reliable. It would work fine if opening it used a normal swipe-from-middle-to-edge gesture.

Termux APK FAQ

Is Termux safe for my device?

Open up
Yes, Termux follows the Google Play content guidelines to ensure safe use on your Android device.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the Termux I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up
A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.

Can I play Termux on my computer?

Open up
Yes, you can play Termux on your computer by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file into the emulator to start playing Termux on PC. Alternatively, you can open the emulator, search for the game or app you want to play, and install it from there.
