Not exactly the same but wanted to share what has worked wonders for me for years. I needed to run a terminal multiplexer on a remote machine, SSH into it, and be able to use emacs (key bindings and all) on my Pixel 5.

I found this combination of now defunct open source apps worked better than any I've tried.

https://github.com/irssiconnectbot/irssiconnectbot For SSH client. (not version 2. version 1.7.1-irssi specifically)

https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard Keyboard that has Ctrl/Alt/Meta keys without having to switch modes. A bit cramped and the UI for AutoSuggestion dissappeared in Android 13 :(

These tools are not without their quirks tho but I'm sure with some TLC they can be ironed out. Funny I'm an Android dev by day but haven't had time to look into the minor issues both tools have because they are so old. Then again, they are not serious issues and I've been able to whip out emacs and write code (clojure: so succinctness helps) when the moment strikes or in lieu of social media.
