usability improvement for drawer, colour contrast, text input, keyboard space

[john-peterson]

i have created four usability improvements

• back action open/close drawer only, it does not close program. many apps use this. it is really the only way to use a drawer since android 11 gesture navigation

• a full extra keyboard page. finally all standard keyboard keys are easily accessible by doubling the amount of availabile space

• back button to get back from text input since swipe is disabled inside a text field

• day theme that respect the system setting. if a user has disabled dark theme it has to be respected despite a tradition of black terminals. there are several good linux terminals that use white as default and we are patching programmmes that accidentally use white text on white background

how to merge the patches

this worked when I tried it

git remote add jp https://github.com/john-peterson/termux-app

git pull jp back day2 drawer key2

git merge jp/key2
git merge jp/day2

git log jp/drawer
git cherry-pick d9d165

git format-patch jp/back -1
wiggle -rp 0001*
git am 0001*
git add -u
git am --continue

the 2 suffix on some branches is because wiggle forced a manual edit for no reason. i have to make it more confident with white space

if anyone prefers termux-monet the patches are available there too

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/KitsunedFox/termux-monet

git remote add jp https://github.com/john-peterson/termux-app

git pull jp back day drawer
git merge jp/back
git merge jp/drawer

git log jp/day
git cherry-pick d8fa7 94c99

./gradlew assembleDebug

day theme

i initially changed both foreground and white to black but reverted white because i want to investigate if there are legitimate reasons to use white text even if the background is white. please let me know. most of the time white text is used accidentally instead of foreground. when developers use a terminal that is always black or white they don't notice the errors

if some white text "disappear" in the day/bright mode you can

• manually change white to black when you turn off dark mode in the system which negates the whole automatic idea

• tackle every individual case with alias or upstream patch

• revert the patch that remove the BRIGHT_WHITE patch and make all white text black if the background is white. report any legitimate use of white text please so i can look at it
