I wanted to mention a few observations I made working with jandroid.

Given the fact on most android devices screen real estate is limited, it
would be nice to

0. be able to choose a smaller fontsize

1. have the scrolling behave as in most android apps, i.e. scrolling on
inertially when one does a quick flick on the screen

2. don't emit 2 newlines after results (or at least make it configurable).

3. allow for the normal behavior for recalling lines (position cursor and
hit enter copies the current line to the bottom). For now, it seems that
the ennoying double tap recall from the original jconsole for android has
rightfully been eliminated, but now there's no way of recalling lines
without immediately executing them.

4. adding to point 3., maybe it would be nice to integrate selection here
too: selecting something in a previous output line and pressing enter would
send only the selection to the new input line, instead of the entire line (
this would be usefull e.g. with the install_jlapack_'' prompt when running
the lapack labs). This might also make sense in the desktop version of J...

What does the rest of you think about this?

Best regards,

Jan-Pieter
