Termux is a terminal emulator for running a Linux environment on Android
devices. It is written in Java, and initially released in May 2015.

Termux has 30 shortcuts and we have listed all of them below.



Shortcuts with Ctrl key
-----------------------

Termux touch keyboards doesn't include a Ctrl key, therefore it uses Volume
down button to emulate the Ctrl key. For example, pressing Volume up + A on
the touch keyboard will be the same as pressing Ctrl + A in a hardware
keyboard.

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 + W                Clear prompt before word (a word is a set of characters after a space)
Ctrl + Alt + C          Open new session (only works in Hacker's Keyboard)
