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. :)

Does caps->ctrl work on the iPad Pro smart keyboard?

Yes, Caps as Ctrl work on the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard.

can I map ⌘ to meta?

You can map ⌘ to Ctrl or ESC, very useful for Emacs :)

I think you've got an excellent product here that stands as a hallmark of what the future of work on iOS looks like

It appears to be open source. https://github.com/blinksh/blink

That is correct. You can compile it and install it yourself, or participate in our continuous testing.

Oh wow, thank you very much for simplifying the build process. I tried a few months back and it was... painful.

Thanks for giving it a try again! It is complex with all the dependencies, but doing precompiled libs helped a ton to alleviate the situation.

$31?!

Well, $20 USD. Not sure what $ you mean.

If you aren't SSHing to boxes from a mobile device often enough that $20 doesn't seem worth it, then this likely isn't for you.

I for one would pay that at the drop of a hat if I only had a cell phone and my servers were down. It's certainly not much for an everyday productivity tool.
