Blink Shell 14: Legacy for Pc

Very good, very fast terminal emulation. Intuitive setup for folk familiar with cli. Very easy to import keys and configure hosts. Support for multiple color themes similar to those found in common desktop terminal emulators. mosh support is really nice. It is a little pricey but I definitely prefer this to some free or cheaper alternatives. I had been using Cathode for a while and look forward to this replacing that as my daily driver for terminal needs. My one very minor gripe is that when using the apple magic keyboard and swapping caps lock for control they caps lock led still lights up. If any of the devs see this and can fix that that would be pretty neat. It isn’t a real big deal and the swap functions as intended but looking down occasionally and seeing the green light turn on and off is a little annoying.

Absolutely the best terminal I've used in iOS to date. Everything renders correctly, every key works as I expect, everything is speedy, there is no bulky user interface taking up 40% of the screen, key repeat actually works, selection with Vim keys is amazing... I could gush about this for days! So far the only con has been the price. Thankfully, though, it's open-source so I was able to compile and run it beforehand as a trial. And I'm glad I did! It's definitely worth the price after confirming that everything works perfectly.

I have been using Termius for awhile, since they implemented my favorite feature from the app. On the iPad smart keyboard, using the stupid caps lock key as control modified. I just tried the app a few minutes ago, and here is what I see: The 'Tab' key prints some sort of special unicode character (copyright or at sign). The CapsLock key properly maps to 'Ctrl', but then any key-presses are not echoed. Although these keypresses aren't echoed, they are taken as keystrokes. If you press CapsLock again, it is back to normal. This effectively makes the CapsLock keyswap with Ctrl unusable. I do not even think the Tab key works out of the box. Just to verify this wasn't an iPadOS bug, I upgraded from iPadOS 13.1.3 to 13.2.2. Some improvements with the 'tab' key, but caps lock mapping still not quite right. I have diagnosed the issue. The mapping between Caps Lock and Control is functioning properly. However, the CapsLock key, whether mapped or not, is acting as a toggle key. So, if you press 'CapsLock-A' it properly goes to the beginning of the line (emacs mode). However, if you now press 'F' 'F' 'F' it goes forward one character at a time. The same is true for 'U' (clear line) and 'C' (INTR). If you then press the CapsLock key again, the 'Lock' is toggled off.

For context, I write software for a living. I spend a lot of time in a shell. My workflow involves Tmux, Vim, Bash, etc. To may my experience a little nicer, I use some nice fonts that support things like powerline, git info in my bash prompts, etc. the app alone allows me to use my iPad as my daily get-stuff-done computer. I don't carry a laptop anymore. the app handles my entire config style. It was the first iOS shell that handled my CLI config and displayed it without issues. But it goes so much further. When using Mosh, your connections are virtually indestructible. I can connect, do some coding, disconnect for the weekend, come back, fire up the app, and it's like I never left. Absolutely amazing for an iOS shell. It also handles port forwarding! If I want to connect to a remote debugger from my browser, for example, I can. No problem. There's really nothing I need to do that I can't with the app. Amazing work everyone involved!
