I use it for emacs, mostly org mode on my phone. It works reasonably well with a small bluetooth keyboard.

I'm not the only weirdo who does this! Although I manage to get by with Hacker's Keyboard.

This was my use case, unfortunately I never figured out how to get my keyboard to accept CapsLock as a Ctrl key. Any suggestions??!

That's actually the "reasonably" part. The BT keyboard mapping is not completely perfect for a few corner cases (I think alt-space was one?). Hackers keyboard is OK for small tasks. You might try a small USB keyboard and USB OTG cable if your phone supports USB peripherals. I used the setup more when I was going someplace and didn't want to drag a laptop. Since I'm not going much of anywhere these days it's of much less use, in fact last time my check termux busted on some update but I haven't needed it so I haven't fixed it.
