One problem I'm having with termux is that on talkback its welcome message
continues scrolling. Once would be fine but the scrolling and the soft keys
continue showing even though I'm using a bluetooth keyboard and I set
transcript lines to 0 and disabled soft keys when a bluetooth keyboard was
connected. Maybe an upgrade wiped my settings I'll have to check if I can ever
break the scrolling. This seems to be an X application and I work well without
X normally.Sent from my Galaxy

casual use an external keyboard is a must. But even though I have terrible
eyesight, I don't need a magnifying glass as pinching to zoom in works just
fine. And of course on a tablet rather than a phone there are no real issues.
