SSH Repeated Keyboard Keys

[isontheline]

Feature description

Hello one again! I’ve noticed one unpleasant thing in your app on Mac and iPad. Sticky keys effect or something like that. So, when I press some button key - it types only ones, which is not good, for example when working with Vim terminal editor. I can’t use fast navigation. Hope you’ll fix this in next version. Thanks! 🥳

I hope this feature will be implemented. Looking forward to it!

@kjuq I hope soon too 🤞

[arideden]

Would love this also.

@arideden macOS also?

[arideden]

No haven't tested on macOS, just on an iPad runing iOS 17.

@arideden Thank you. Last question : are you requesting key repeat of the "character keys" or the buttons above the keyboard?

[arideden]

Character keys. I’m trying to use vim with an external keyboard and when I hold down j, k, l etc to scroll the cursor around it pops up with the accent options instead of repeating the key. Space, backspace, arrow keys repeat fine.

Thanks for your feedback @arideden

I will look further into this issue as soon as possible

Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems that Termius doesn't handle key repeat, isnt'it?

Which apps are you using (on iOS) which provide the key repeat?

[elasticdog]

I downloaded a few other iPadOS terminal apps, and both Termius and Blink shell handle key repeats somehow (Blink seems to have smoother/faster repeating), but you’re right that most other apps do not. I’m not sure of the mechanism they’re using to disable the long hold for accented letters.

@elasticdog Thank you a lot for your feedback about other apps related to this issue 🙏

I'll try to find a reliable solution as soon as I can
