Configure what volume buttons do?

[trusktr]

Can we configure volume buttons? F.e. I'd like to swap Ctrl with Alt so that Ctrl is volume-up rather than volume-down, and Alt will be volume-down.

Over a year later, this issue doesn't appear to have gotten any attention. I am also in need of this feature.

JuiceSSH, a very powerful SSH client/terminal emulator for Android, allows you to increase/decrease the font size by using the volume keys. This is substantially more convenient to quickly switch the font size than the pinch-to-zoom method that Termux currently requires. I am looking to have Termux behave in this same way.

As a suggestion, termux.properties could accept volume keys as a valid setting, much like back-key is currently. For instance, it could be great if these were valid settings:

vol-up = zoom-in

vol-down = zoom-out

In addition to the ctrl + xyz combinations or just standard keys.

Is this already possible by other means? Or can this be put under consideration?

Thanks!

Also a new termux user that's migrated over from JuiceSSH...

Would love to be able to customize termux.properties to set the behavior of the volume keys...

Very impressed with Termux though!

just to be part of the gang ... i would as well be very very happy if that would be possible

talking for myself - i'd aim for the possibility to cycle through sessions (have a couple of monitoring scripts running and would like to use my big phone with one hand :) )
