What "background" are you referring to?

Tapping the terminal text area opens the keyboard if it's closed, just like normal edit text fields in android. No reason to close it for that when tapping and termux app doesn't even know if keyboard is open or closed anyways (unless disabled). You can use KEYBOARD extra key to toggle the keyboard.

I was referring to the terminal text area only
I just thought it would be good the way it opens the keyboard when clicked in the terminal it closes too. But I guess there is no need to do that. Anyways if you approve then only I work. thanks :)

The terminal text area is an edit text field itself, it is not the background. When you type in a edit text field, like url in a browser or in chats, tapping it again doesn't close keyboard, it stays open. That's the current termux behaviour and must not be changed by default. Even if more users request toggling, a termux.properties property would need to be added for it and then changes tested rigourously since keyboard logic is quite complex in termux, read the keyboard logic in the file linked above, it's near the bottom. Also check #2114 (comment).

+1 for current termux behaviour

There are a lot of issues open for termux-app and the other termux plugin apps, you can look into those and see what you can actually implement.
