I’m the Blink developer and really curious. Which way do you think Blink is inferior? I think the ssh/mosh tooling is way more powerful, keyboard config, etc. But would love to improve what I can. Currently working on new UI and better

Yes, Blink gives you a local shell with some tools (not extendable), including Vim. It is even possible to mount a remote repository (we call it a Bookmark), and edit locally. Give it another chance if you want to, I’m always happy to help

I usually pair Claude with tmux, so you can move the cursor around the Claude output and copy, scroll, etc. that buffer is definitely the way to go. And within the chat box, Claude respects known eMacs/GNU shortcuts for cursor movement

Im Carlos from Blink Shell, mentioned in a few comments here. Dropped this comment in the thread but thought about leaving my 2c here too as this is something I have been thinking about a lot. Usage and expectations have been changing a lot

At BlinkShell we recently added support for WebAuthn for SSH keys. WebAuthn signatures have been a part OpenSSH for a while now, but it looks like we are the first client to do so. You can check out a few cool flows here https://

Fair enough, thanks!

May I ask, why do you keep using Prompt? Full disclosure, I’m one of Blink Shell devs.

You should anyway run mosh+tmux. Not sure about this though, ssh still disconnects and you have to reconnect and then launch tmux attach again. I agree it doesn’t seem like much, but just opening any device and continue from where you left

Thanks! There is actually a ton of technology behind the scenes here and there is a whole team working on it too. Definitely not something to do on your own! :D

Thanks for your message! Our biggest difference with Vault on Secret Management is ease of use, specially on installation. But Bunkr is also a one-stop solution to do a lot of other things. We think by tapping into threshold cryptography we

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 real

David Chisnall is a master too, and a pity that GNUStep and etoileos.com didn't spread more. NEXTStep could have been Mono, long ago.

With a dev license you can install pretty much anything on your device through XCode. And if you do not want to compile but wanna collaborate on the project, we offer the possibility to become a tester of our RAW branch :)

Also, Agent Forwarding and ProxyCommand are definitely in the roadmap. The former was only recently added to Mosh, so hopefully useful on both!

Thanks for the idea, I tried it out but always end up long passing what I'm looking for due to inertia. I would like something smarter like iTerm with the cursor though.

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 :)

iOS only allows background connections to be maintained for three minutes. That means if you keep the app in the background longer than that, for example while checking Safari, the connection breaks. Every app has this limitation (TeamViewe

I can definitely increase the number of F keys either on the on-screen keyboard and the F keys mapping. Blink also supports Cursor keys and remap of those (by default Cmd + Arrow). My plan is to have some kind of "special keys maps&quo

Other libraries are system libraries and BSD licensed like protobuf.

We are aware of the "track Caps Lock" problem. iOS actually has an option to disable caps on the accessibility but still doesn't work with external keyboards. Hopefully soon. Thanks for the heads up about the delay. I have on

Mosh and technologies involved actually have an iOS exception that makes it compatible as long as the resulting project is GPL'd too. In the case of VLC they had to relicense, so a process very similar to this one.

It is a WKWebView, and the way SSH or Mosh are connected is by just a simple descriptors system on top of it so that read and write operations can be done. So everything is really "unixy", you can send fprintf to the terminal, etc

Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely consider 1Password in the future, although not a fan of reusing private keys everywhere :)

Thanks! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated too, we want to make Blink the best terminal for iOS. :)
