Documenting android setup processes happens mostly in the form of screenshots when a new device is set up, but images don't always convey the context clearly.
Display
Dark theme -> on
Haptic Feedback for Keyboard
disabled haptic feedback for keyboard input
found setting in settings -> system -> languages & input -> virtual keyboard -> gboard -> preferences
enable long press for symbols.
right handed mode makes the keys smaller, but there is less distance to travel. i know one handed is slower, but i find it difficult to hold the phone otherwise
enable glide typing? seems to be disabled in termux?
todo: way to customize the characters available on a virtual keyboard? an arrow key would be nice (i.e. instead of ->)
Applications
F-Droid / Termux
F-Droid is an open-source package manager for Android devices.
No root required. But you do have to know how to install a program outside of the App store.
F-Droid makes installing Termux easier. Don't use the version of Termux in the Google Play store
