I use ssh on my phone (for school). Since I obviously don't have a control key, how would I kill a process that's running? I don't have root access.

Most of those phone terminal apps have a meta key that lets you prefix a key with ALT, CTRL, ESC, whatever you need. Mine has these prefixes at the top of the virtual keyboard. There are plenty to choose from on Google Play/App Store/Windows Store.

  • That is true, and mine does actually have one. But out of curiosity is there any other way to do it?

  • I saw some apps for android that gave a user a "vim keyboard". It could be used in any context. Don't remember if it had CTRL, but it had ESC.
