Slightly off-topic I couldn't find a free SSH Ios app. not that 4-5$ is a big deal, but there are myriad of ssh clients for free on android, no doubt due to different clientele, and different developer sentiments.
And the well-researched statistics on Android users being less likely to purchase apps.

I think your comment highlights a difference between the Android and iOS communities. Android users just want free software, while iOS users don't mind paying for quality. Guess which platform ends up with the slickest software, with the most spit and polish. Developers find paying customers on iOS, so that's where the develop.
Actually, I believe in this case iOS users are paying because they're conditioned to pay. I don't think the quality argument for this ssh client really holds water. Maybe Android users are just more discerning in who they give their money to?
Wow, that's incredibly untrue. Quality (and price) is a factor in absolutely everything that's for sale in any industry anywhere on earth. Price and quality.

Panic is known for their sub-standard software?

As a happy user of Terminal, what's wrong with it? It's fast, it's simple, it supports multiple colour profiles, it can be customised like any other shell... What more do you want out of your terminals?
I miss being able to copy paste by just selecting and pasting it with middle click, which iTerm does allow. Also OOTB it doesn't support fn + arrows for home, end so you have to use ctrl + a for home which is also used for screen. Tiny annoyances, I just happen to prefer iTerm.

C-a interferes with command line editing and Emacs. C-z makes it a pain to background a process in screen, but if you're like me, you probably never do that, anyway.

To choose a few obvious gaffes: - no xterm mouse support (no, option-click is not the same) - the utterly stupid default for PageUp/PageDown/Home/End, which is correct for OSX UI, but utterly wrong for terminals. Less obvious (relavent to UI): - No notification support - No window splitting (yes, screen works, but, re: changing panes, see xterm mouse, above) - inability to launch a particular named window group from…
You can split windows vertically. Not horizontally.
Could you not use osascript to launch a window group from the command line?
iTerm was crashy for me. This is not acceptable, no matter the other features. I cannot recall ever crashing Terminal.app.
I'd been using touchterm for a while, and had experimented with other iOS ssh clients. They... worked, but the experience always felt a bit clunky. I've been using prompt for a day now, and so far it feels better than the others. The app design feels really clean, the method of expanding the keyboard to handle modifier keys and frequently-used non-alpha keys works well without grabbing too much screen real estate (th…
Does `C-space` work for you? I currently use M-x set-mark-command instead. Other than that, emacs seems to work without issues! (Also, backspace was sending C-h, so I had to remap that in emacs.
iSSH is still better. Especially on an iPad, and most definitely if you use a bluetooth keyboard once in a while [1] Furthermore, I don't understand how someone could even make the remark that an ssh client reminds them of linux, and mean it negatively. :-) I certainly don't want an the equivalent IOS SSH client to the one Apple makes for OSX -- Terminal is rather shitty.
