My biggest issue with an iPad Pro+Apple Keyboard as the main terminal client:
- Where the "Control" key should be, is the "International Keyboard" key -- and there's no option to remap it. Control-something brings up the "Emoji" keyboard...or the Spanish keyboard (for me)
This is why I started Blink, seriously. I just wanted to have Cmd as Ctrl and Alt as Meta on my iPad, for emacs.
I even had to go one night to Grand Central's Apple Store and buy an external BT keyboard to run some tests because I realized the Simulator wasn't working properly with the modifier keys. And fortunately I was right, I could make modifier keys work, and it made sense to continue working on Blink.
The main benefit to me, besides mosh support, of the Blink app mentioned in TFA is that it actually allows you to remap caps lock to be control, because between left shift and tab is where the control key is supposed to live. I have been searching/waiting for half a decade for someone to produce a bluetooth keyboard that allowed me to remap keys the same way I can on my laptop and this software hack in Blink is the closest anyone has come.
Yeah, I've had to disable all keyboards except the main (English) one because hitting the globe key accidentally was so frustrating. For Emoji, I'm using an app called Symbols which allows be to copy/paste them (yay for multitasking with a floating app window on iOS11).

Everything else? I can live with.
