Re: Roadmap for the next couple of months

Hi Dean,

Thanks, the roadmap looks good! In regards to arrows, alt, ctrl, and
meta keys, since right now we don't have a solution for supporting
external keyboards, would it be possible for you to write a different
virtual keyboard (which users could optionally use instead of the
built-in iPad keyboard) for iSSH to use which would include these
keys? That would at least bypass the issue of trying to listen for key
events which never appear...

Thanks,

Andrew
