Not yet, but we are working on it. We use libssh2 and I'm working on a patch for that.

Cool, thanks. :-) I just bought the app and play with it for few minutes, here's some quick feedback: 1. Love the fact the interface is just a CLI! 2. But would be nice if content of `help` was shown by default. `blink>` wasn't very helpful ;-) 3. Ability to bind Caps Lock to "ESC on tap, Ctrl on Hold" would be really cool. Otherwise I really like what I'm seeing so far. Finally Mosh client on my iPad Pro! Edit: and 4, ability to bind Alt/Option key as Meta (rather than iOS' default special character input, e.g. Alt-x should send M-x)

  Regarding Bluetooth/external keyboards: The last time I tried an iOS terminal app, iOS had limitations on many key combinations, such that I couldn't effectively use Emacs with normal mappings (or Bash with default Emacs-style keyboard shortcuts). Has Apple changed this and if so, does Blink or any other app work properly in this regard? I'm not concerned with changing modifier keys, just want standard Ctrl and Option as Meta like I do in macOS.

    You can do that on Blink, and it was one of the reasons why I started the project. Option as Meta and Cmd as Ctrl :)

  Thanks a lot for the feedback!! You can actually do number 3. On Config > Keyboard select Caps as Ctrl at the modifier section, and also toggle the Caps as ESC. That will give you Ctrl on hold, and ESC on tap. :)

    Oh wow. That actually works. I think I just found a new default SSH client for my iPad. Thanks.

Yea, just also side note that error messages aren't very good for saying it doesn't support it vs something weird going on with copy and paste.
