Ability to lock keyboard modifiers

[dead10ck]

Feature description

Currently, there is no way to lock a modifier so that it stays depressed. So if you have a key sequence you need to press multiple times, such as ctrl-n to go through auto complete suggestions in vim, you need to hit ctrl n, ctrl n, ctrl n, etc; it would be nice if you could do something like hit ctrl twice to lock it, similar to the shift key, then you could just hit n, n, n, etc.

That depends on the keyboard used. Use preferably a keyboard which has its own ctrl key built in like Multiling O keyboard or Hackers keyboard. The standard Android keyboard has no Ctrl key.
Or, even easier, use an SSH session from a computer to access Termux which is much easier than on the tiny screen. I use that from my Mac using the standard terminal app, this can also be done from Linux, and now from WIndows as well with a Powershell terminal app. In all cases use ssh -p 8022 <ip addres of your device>. The computer and the device should be in the same wifi network.

I'm not quite sure I understand the purpose of your comment. Are you giving reasons that this feature request shouldn't be implemented?

No I am not, but I mentioned it as a workaround until the developers hopefully inplement tour suggestion.
