I often use a Bluetooth keyboard with Termux. But as a mechanical keyboard affectionate with a veritable museum of ergonomic and mechanical keyboards, the Samsung S-Pen is good enough for terminal work. I use SSH, VIM, and lately Org mode in Termux. If I'm at a desk I still use a Bluetooth keyboard, but if I'm out then the S-Pen is a fine enough substitute.

Right now I'm on an S24 Ultra, before that a Note 10 Lite, and before that another Note 10 Lite.

I just got an S25 Ultra. How do you use the S-Pen with termux? I do have handwriting enabled in gboard and the S-Pen works for writing regular text. But can it write special characters, ctrl/alt, or something else to go beyond what regular gboard gives? (I also have Unexpected Keyboard for Emacs, but S-pen input seems like a cool idea if it can work around limitations of gboard)

		For bash commands I hunt and peck with it. I use glide typing for English and Hebrew text. For special keys Termux displays a bar just above the keyboard. I don't remember if that's something that I had to configure.
