In my experience, Prompt is much better app for straightforward terminal use than iSSH. It handles meta keys very well includig the hardware ESC key on the wireless keyboard that iSSH could not, last time I tried it.
- moconnor 15y agoiSSH supports escape and most ctrl key combinations now.
- nileshk 15y agoAre there any tricks to getting Prompt working correctly? Ctrl seems to work good, at least the keys I tried (Ctrl-A/E/N/P/K/T). When connecting to a Linux box, I can get some of meta keys to kinda work, but most of them do unexpected things. When connecting to an OS X box, option just spits out special characters. Prompt doesn't appear to have any configuration option for what type of terminal emulation, so I guess my only options are to configure the shell I am connecting to. I just tried the latest versions of both Prompt and iSSH on iOS 5 on an iPhone 3GS. Prompt is at least a big improvement over iSSH in this area, but, unless I can figure out how to get it to work better, it is definitely not something I'd be comfortably using for Emacs.
