What is it?
AcodeX is a plugin for Acode, a code editor on Android. It adds a terminal panel inside the editor so you can run shell commands without switching to Termux. The panel connects to a local server called axs, which runs in Termux, and it supports multiple sessions that persist after Acode is closed.
The plugin offers two terminal views: the established xterm.js view and a RioTerm view built on a Rust/WASM core. Users can move, resize, minimize, or maximize the panel, choose from more than ten themes, and use Nerd Fonts or their own fonts. A plugin API lets other Acode plugins execute commands and manage sessions.
An optional GUI viewer runs graphical Linux apps through VNC, and an AI feature turns a natural-language prompt typed after `#` into a shell command using Deepseek, ChatGPT, or Gemini models with your own API key.
