Touch keyboard of termux
AlT,CTRL,ESC are the necessary keys to work with a CLI terminal.But none of them are included in any ordinary touch keyboard.So to get rid of this problem, Termux gives us an extra key row where we get those special keys.
Also you can use the volume down button to emulate CTRL key. As well as volume up button to emulate ESC key.for example you can use the combination of Volume Down+C instead of pressing CTRL+C on Termux. Volume Up+E will perform the same operation as ESC does.
So the volume up and down keys serve as a special key to create specific inputs in Termux.
| Volume down+C | Ctrl+C |
| Volume up+E | Escape |
| Volume up+X | ALT+X |
| Volume up+A | Left Arrow Key |
| Volume up+D | Right Arrow Key |
| Volume up+T | Tab key |
