Great idea but managing the floating window is clunky. I suggest the dev to take a look at hovernote in the play store - it implements the same idea in a more user-friendly way.

Termux styling isn't carrying over to "Float", I'm not sure if its just my phone model, but it used to work before on my last phone.

I love that it's a fully functional floating terminal, and it inherits your termux settings, but it doesn't respond to the built in Android buttons, letting you drop the keyboard on back or home. otherwise I completely love it. it would also be nice if it would have some options to hide it other than the notification, and if it would open again from being relaunched. Termux:Float seems to not have a way to use the menu like Termux does, which makes it hard to use the clipboard

Awesome for monitoring top while using an app, running quick commands, etc. The transparency is awesome. I do wish there was a way to launch it quickly - currently I've added it as a lockscreen shortcut so I can get it by double pressing power, tapping, and then touching the fingerprint scanner to unlock, but I wish there was a simpler way. I also keep adjusting volume when I don't want to, by exiting this with ctrl-D, where volume down is ctrl. Price is a bit high for an addon, but Termux itself is free and excellent, and the dev deserves a few bucks.

This could be so much more useful and unobtrusive if there was an option to minimize it to a small facebook-chat-like bubble, it works and I like it, but it's a bit weird to have it around along with the on-screen-keyboard and other content at the same time...

Termux and all it's related apps/tools are super useful ! One question: is it possible to have the Float be configurable so that it can also sit at desktop level and not on float of the other apps' windows ? In essence like a widget ?

App fails to install with error -505 on an HTC a9 (termux is currently installed and working)

I love that it's a fully functional floating terminal, and it inherits your termux settings, but it doesn't respond to the built in Android buttons, letting you drop the keyboard on back or home. otherwise I completely love it. Termux is a perfect replacement for the now abandoned TerminalIDE, which I just used as a Linux shell and SSH client anyway. it would also be nice if it would have some options to hide it other than the notification, and if it would open again from being relaunched.

Handy utility, draws over other apps providing dual window support. Responsive, easy to adjust, effective. Clipboard support would be a bonus, however, being that most or all touch events for the float have been determined, the addition of C/P probably isn't feasible. Thanks to the Developer & Termux Community for ongoing support.

This app is exactly what I was looking for, and a perfect addition to Termux. I am happy to contribute back to the developer for the great work! The "toast' instructions that pop up when you start the app were a bit unclear, however. To resize the window, long press, and then when the "Drag to position..." pops up and *while keeping your finger pressing*, use a second finger to change the window size. Similarly for font resize. Double tap, and on the second tap, keep your finger against the screen and then swipe up or down to change font size smaller or larger.

Neither move nor resize works with tablet + mouse. Dear developers, some of us have progressed into the tablet age for some time now.

also I would love this to support multiwindow, but also the forementioned or better explaination of how.

Also, a nice way to be able to donate to the developer

Could we get an option for the terminal to remember size / position / font size between sessions?
