This did exactly what I needed it to do. I can plug in an Arduino and send it serial commands. Well done. :)

Near perfect solution. Need to integrate software keyboard input like Termux's, especially when dealing with network switches and routers command line completions. Inserting ? and Tab via macros doesn't really work. Scrolling through historical commands would be an awesome addition.
