SSH Terminal Mode Scrolling
Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 11:17 am
Hi,
Just got your app for my ipad, and it seems a great value $2 for both SSH and VNC. Looking forward to having font size selection for the next rev. (I assume changing the font will auto-change the terminal size (in terms of characters)?)
Some thoughts:
** I had to look in the forums for the way to scroll back in the terminal windows, which is using the virtual trackpad. That seemed odd to me, as I don't really need a mouse during my ssh session anyways. I would suggest that during an SSH session the mouse mode be disabled, and that a narrow scroller region be added to one side of the terminal window. That way the user can keep the keyboard up, and quickly access the terminal history.
** Another nice feature would be to have iOS style text selection/cut/paste for the terminal window. This again would obviate the need for a mouse during the terminal session.
I haven't thought these all the way through, but want to put the ideas out there.
Thanks!!
