I managed to build a "mobile kit" with my phone, the TIC app, and a cheap foldable keyboard (at least here in Vietnam, 20$).

It's almost perfect! I can just bring the keyboard in my bag to be able to code anywhere, without my laptop!!

Why almost?

There is a weird issue with the app focus... Each time the app change the active screen (ex: from code editor to command line, or from code editor to run app screen), the shortcuts are no more working (CTRL + ?). So no more Find / Undo / Run from the keyboard. And if I'm on the command line screen, I cannot type anything.

So I need to switch to the phone menu, then to the TIC application to get the shortcuts running again. No need to quit the app.

I hope to find a solution (or to have support from the team) to have a 100% working mobile kit :). I'm not sure if it's linked to my phone, or if it's a real bug.

Any idea?

Do any of your keys work when you switch? Or is it only the shortcuts? I have a very similar setup, but am finding that using the back button (on the device) switches to "GUI Mode," which puts me in the code editor or console, but for whatever reason disables all key input except for arrows and the return key. Which is a problem for me since I don't have an escape key...

Anyway, I came on here to ask about that and saw your post. Just not sure if it's the same issue you're experiencing.

Actually, the bug is known by the author. I talked with him on Twitter. It should be fixed soon I hope. 

I found a workaround:

- Buy and use the pro version 0.50.1 of tic

- Save your cart like this : save nameofyourcart.lua (it creates a text version of the cart)

- install DroidEdit application

You can now code with DroidEdit and just switch to TIC. It will automatically reload the cart. Just run it.
