I've been happy with the Simple Tab Groups extension, but built-in support would be welcome, since it would have better access than an extension.

Hyperion is the first book in a 4-book series: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

If I recall correctly, the first two were supposed to be one book, but were split to two because the publisher wanted more money or something to that effect. So finishing the first book leaves you effectively hanging with a lot of unresolved threads.

By itself, Hyperion seems like a collection of loosely related stories in the same universe. But the rest of the books in the series answer a lot (if not all, read it a long time ago) of the question and threads in the first book.

I can't go into much detail without [mildly] spoiling the series, so I'll just say this: the story is told by different speakers, but it all ties in pretty well.

I'm not sure where ConnectBot stores its keys, so I can't help with the 'transferring to termux' part :-)

What I can tell you is that you should be able to generate and use SSH keys directly in Termux. Here's a quick guide on how to do it: https://gist.github.com/evandrocoan/f503188587587d7b1d1ba8746c9c6107

I've switched phones recently, and I haven't set up my keys yet, but as far as I recall I went through a similar process a few years ago to set up SSH keys on my phone (I haven't tried the steps in that article myself).

Indeed - users that need accessable features should not rely on each piece of software they use to supply them. But even as a one-off feature, it is a good thing to have IMO, as it will certainly expose APIs and hooks in vscode for other accessibility software to utilize.

Also, open source, learning, and all that jazz.

You may not find a use for it, and neither do I in my workflow. But think about accessibility - it might enable some users to perform tasks the find physically difficult using just their voice.

Or, you can go get a beer or a [slice of] pizza, and call out to vscode from across the room to build your app or start a server or something.

A bit more about the history and current state of Iqrit:

Israel and the IDF won't allow people to return to their lands there since 1948, and now they're using it to cry foul.

One minor flaw in their reasoning: Johny Srouji is Arab (but evidently passes as white).

You use a keyboard and a peinter? weak! I throw magnets over the memory chips and use a multi-meter. /l334

A Nokia 3100 ... it was the first phone I bought, and I kept it through college and beyond.

The thing was a beast :-)

128x128 pixel screen, with 12-bit RGB. No WiFi, no Bluetooth. Had some web access with WAP (no not that! "Wireless Access Protocol"). It did have a camera module though /rofl

And best of all, the battery lasted a week!

I've been running the same installation since 2012.
