Termux-app: Naive Text Input View sends a newline on completion

Created on 8 Feb 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: termux/termux-app

When pressing the "send" button after entering text using the native input field (above the keyboard), it appends a newline character (n), which many cli programs interpret as "enter".

However, real keyboard sends a carriage return (r). Some programs expect this character, and either ignore the n or interpret it as a soft enter.

Is there a reason n was chosen over r? It makes more sense to emulate pressing the enter key after the input.
