Termux is awesome, but it is not what I'm looking for. Using Termux lacks the ergonomics of using a terminal on desktop. The keyboard / typing experience is far worse.
@matcha_addict the keyboard experience is quite literally just your device's keyboard
Maybe you wanna try Unexpected Keyboard?

Nice recommendation! I tried it and it's probably the first keyboard I actually like.
This + dvorak layout is amazing
The keyboard experience is limited by the small size
I have not tried the keyboard you linked. Does it solve this issue?
@matcha_addict you can make it however big or small you want 🤷
Edit: sounds like you meant software keyboard. That is constrained by screen size and hence cannot be as big as I want.
Below is my original comment which assumed you meant a physical keyboard of sufficient size.
If you're carrying around a big keyboard with your phone, you've officially exited mobile phone territory.
Mobile phone is hand-held and pocket sized by definition.
It's a software keyboard...
Then you're constrained by the screen size, so it's incorrect that you can make it as big as you want.
I had a trifold Bluetooth keyboard that was pretty good. 🤷
I addressed the physical keyboard thing one or two comments above, here: https://lemy.lol/comment/9872524
I'm sure it works for you but it's not what I'm looking for
