Description

Feature description
Currently, Settings seems incomplete.

Termux API should provide some way of writing custom options in termux settings, and allowing to create custom sections.

This would be a quality of life improvement, and one of the use cases would be implementing management of packages, and proot distros from the configuration without needing to update the app. As well showing usage statistics.

(This would be implemented by the package using Termux API)

Reference implementation
None
