 To set things up the way I like them I install termux and then configure ssh access to my server. Once that's setup I can grab my dotfiles repo and setup Termux to mirror the way my laptop is setup. I can also [install git annex]() and clone my documents and notes folders. I don't often access these in Termux, but Termux can share them with other apps so I can use a visual file browser to get those documents and make notes. The last thing I do is clone my writing repository. That gets me a basic setup, but there are some things I do to make life on Android smoother.
 
-command line tools: pkg install termux-api, which allows you to do termux-clipboard-set and -get so you can add tk to your vimrc and use control copy in visual mode to send that text to the system clipboard
+First install the termux-api package with:
+
+~~~
+pkg install termux-api ~~~ This gives you access to a shell command `termux-clipboard-set` and `-get` so you can copy and past from vim. I added this to my Termux .vimrc and use control copy in visual mode to send that text to the system clipboard:
+~~~
+bash script tk

+That works for updating this site, but some sites I write for want rich text, which I generate using pandoc and then open in the browser using this script:

+The one thing I have not solved is the capslock key. I am so used to having that set as both Control and Esc that I hit it several times a day and end up not only not running whatever keycombo shortcut I thought I was about to run, but also activating caps lock and thus messing up the next commands as well because they're now capital letter commands not lowercase. I've considered just prying off the key so it'd be harder to hit, but so far I haven't resorted to that. 
+
+Getting around esc as a Vim users is pretty easy, I just remapped jj to escape, but I constantly hit capslock thinking it's control. I've tried quite a few key remapping apps but none of them have worked consistantly enough to rely on them. Such is life. 
+
+That gets me enough to work though. I clone my various git and git-annex repos (my documents folder is in git-annex), write and edit in vim, copy/paste things to the browser. That's all I need. I suppose part of the reason I can work on a tiny $75 computer is that I have purposefully chosen to learn and rely on simple tools that work just about anywhere.

 Then I push, pull on the Fire and pick up again. Do I ever forget to push on the laptop, get to the middle of the woods and realize I don't have the latest version of the repo? Yes, yes I do. But that's what Git branches are for.
