@eclecticpassions I have no experience with FUTO (had to look it up),
so it might be fine.  Mostly the supplied-with-the-device keyboards
don't support meta or super as modifiers (usually mapped to alt and
windows keys).As for macOS compatibility, the full GUI emas also runs
there (as well as on Linux and Windows); there are several
additionally customized distributions on the mac that make use of mac-
only interfaces.I just looked at F-Droid and the only emacs listed
there IS the full gui emacs, so I am a bit confused.  I have a
(probably older) version of that on one of my tablets, and when I
start it up (from the circular blue icon with the stylized E on the
desktop), I get the splash screen with the blue and red GNU and Emacs
logo.The main advantage of the GUI emacs is that it can deal with
images (e.g. that splash screen icon).   All the editing and elisp
processing can be done in both GUI and character mode (and both modes
can run on all the platforms).
