Troubleshooting: • If Vim freezes, tap "close window" on the menu. • If you got keyboard input issue, change "Input method" preference to "Character-based" or use another keyboard.
Menu drawer slides from the left, meanwhile navigation drawer pops up on the right. Default file manager can be replaced with Total Commander or others, which later will be registered as a menu item.
There are three lines of functionbar on the screen. Each line contains the most important keys and can be shown or hidden individually. The most important one, such as Esc, Up, Down, and toggle-keyboard keys will remain visible as default. The other two functionbars (Ctrl, copy, paste, and F1-F12 keys) can be toggled on and off. It is also possible to add your favorite key(s) and rearrange the order of the keys on the functionbar. There are many other options on the Preferences menu. The "Send" (Enter) button probably needs to be shown on the one-line text box as default.
To distinguish between characters O, 0, l, 1, i, and I, the default font has to be replaced with screen-friendly font. Monospace fonts such as FiraCode or Hack are probably the most suitable candidates.
