Hello, I am a new iPad user and this is one of the first iOS apps I ever downloaded along with iSH on testflight(the alpine linux distrobution for ipad). I have 2 questions if you don't mind:

1) I love iSH because I dont need to be on the internet or connected to any other devices to get a local shell. Is there interest in the project in creating a local shell using busybox or the like built into the app? As awesome as iSH is, unfortunately things like F-keys and general user interface still need a bit of work.

2) Will you folks support mouse integration on iOS 13?

Thanks for the great app. I am rooting for you folks.

I was about to recommend iSH too so here is the link [1] for anyone interested. The major advantage of iSH, besides being free, is its ability to function offline. Many other SSH clients where just proxies to a server which wasn’t useful on air-gapped or NAT networks.

1) Termius supports local terminal on Android and Desktop as the OSes allow it. We are constantly looking for ways to add similar functionality on iOS but can't see an appropriate way.

2) iOS 13 brings a lot of benefits for Termius users, including mouse support and on-top keyboard. We will add mouse support, but cannot give ETA yet.
