Description

I've searched for separate keyboard settings for Android buried in the ChromeOS settings tree, but haven't been able to locate them. Expected behavior is that when ChromeOS is set to use Dvorak, Termux would too. Actual behavior is that Termux input is set to Qwerty, regardless of ChromeOS setting.

Chromebook Flip, not in dev mode. Termux installed via Play Store.

Research direction
Investigate how Termux handles input events on ChromeOS. Look at the TerminalView and input method (IME) related code in the termux app repository. Check the issue comments for any prior debugging or hints from maintainers. The issue likely requires understanding Android's input connection and how the system keyboard layout is propagated to apps. Focus on the InputConnection or KeyEvent handling in the terminal emulator.
