Use of keys like Alt, Ctrl, Esc is necessary for working with a CLI terminal. Termux touch keyboards do not include one. For that purpose Termux uses the Volume down button to emulate the Ctrl key. For example, pressing}Volume down+L on a touch keyboard sends the same input as pressing Ctrl+L on a hardware keyboard. | |
The result of using Ctrl in combination with a key depends on which program is used, but for many command line tools the following shortcuts works: | |
Ctrl+A → Move cursor to the beginning of line | |
Ctrl+C → Abort (send SIGINT to) current process | |
Ctrl+D → Logout of a terminal session | |
Ctrl+E → Move cursor to the end of line | |
Ctrl+K → Delete from cursor to the end of line | |
Ctrl+U → Delete from cursor to the beginning of line | |
Ctrl+L → Clear the terminal | |
Ctrl+Z → Suspend (send SIGTSTP to) current process | |
Ctrl+alt+C → Open new session (only work in Hacker's Keyboard) | |
The Volume up key also serves as a special key to produce certain input: | |
Volume Up+E → Escape key | |
Volume Up+T → Tab key | |
Volume Up+1 → F1 (and Volume Up+2 → F2, etc) | |
Volume Up+0 → F10 | |
Volume Up+B → Alt+B, back a word when using readline | |
Volume Up+F → Alt+F, forward a word when using readline | |
Volume Up+X → Alt+X | |
Volume Up+W → Up arrow key | |
Volume Up+A → Left arrow key | |
Volume Up+S → Down arrow key | |
Volume Up+D → Right arrow key | |
Volume Up+L → | (the pipe character) | |
Volume Up+H → ~ (the tilde character) | |
Volume Up+U → _ (underscore) | |
Volume Up+P → Page Up | |
Volume Up+N → Page Down | |
Volume Up+. → Ctrl+\ (SIGQUIT) | |
Volume Up+V → Show the volume control | |
Volume Up+Q → Show extra keys view | |
Volume Up+K → Another variant to toggle extra keys view |
