Terminal is a core Ubuntu Touch app and the only project to bring you the popular Linux shell on your Ubuntu Phone or Ubuntu Tablet device. And now, Canonical’s designers are in charge of making the Linux terminal user experience much pleasant by making Terminal convergent across all screen formats. For now, the Ubuntu design team managed to update the looks of the Terminal app following their Suru visual language design patters, add the gorgeous Solarized palette by default, implement keyboard shortcuts that can be completely customized by the user, as well as to allow you to split the screen horizontally or vertically.
