termux-overlay view

Always show termux console above other apps
Linux command line tools for Android is not only for running linux application, but also helping other Android apps.
There are many stuff you feel hard to do without linux command line tool and also you must use GUI app.
Then I suggest termux-api-overlay.

This API enables you to show termux terminal over other app.

I think it's somehow difficult, mostly easily to do with using Android Overlay fullscreen app support API.
It needs new permission, android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW.

Did you take a look at Termux:float?

Yes, I have, but I want to do it more freely.

This should be as enhancement to Termux:Float as such functionality has nothing to do with Android API methods.

To be honest I still haven't looked into this and don't know the difference between what this issue is proposing and the functionality that termux:float already provides. Anyway I agree with you; moving to the correct repo. (edited to add: whoops, I can't move to termux:float)
