Phones held in portrait get two rows of keys under the terminal: ESC / - HOME UP END PGUP and TAB CTRL ALT LEFT DOWN RIGHT PGDN. The row is part of the panel's grid, so the terminal refits above it instead of being covered, and tapping a key keeps the soft keyboard open.

Keys send the same sequences as a physical keyboard, following xterm's application cursor mode. CTRL and ALT are one-shot and also apply to the next character typed on the soft keyboard. The arrows use Noto Sans Mono's up and down glyphs, rotated for left and right, so all four match.
