   @idiot Emacs pro at your service.
   
   You pretty much need to plug in a USB keyboard via host mode to your Replicant device and you're good to go ahead at typing C-x b, M-x zone and M-x tetris etc.

     So unless there's something some emac pro knows that I don't, Android emacs is the pits. Whatever the termux people did to get extra keys (especially Ctrl and Alt) wasn't done for it, so you can only do what the menus let you, no chord magic. Doesn't help that menus and buttons on the edges of this screen are hell to press (thanks Pixel team for curving the corners of the screen and making this phone nearly unusable.) Also idk what the absolute path is to my regular file directory so emacs can only navigate inside its little container directory.
     If there's a better text editor for Android, it's news to me, but the bar is set somewhere in the inner core of the Earth.
