### 5/5 — Can you add the tab key?

*2024-12-07*

I need the tab key

### 1/5 — 没必要

*2024-01-19*

能用归能用，好用归好用 
交换机上不能退格不能选中复制属实抽象了

### 4/5 — 怎么使用外接键盘

*2023-12-26*

用平板敲有点费劲，什么时候能用外接键盘

### 5/5 — 手机也能console啦

*2023-04-15*

好用，暂时没有遇到不能删除的情况。2.0的版本要求ios16，老手机不想升级16。试着先买了app，再下载，提示可以下载历史版本，进软件看了下，是1.4的版本。另外作者能不能把esc crl tab按键做大一点？fit键好像对配交换机没作用，而常用的快捷键比如ctrl+c ，crtl+shift+6却没有，能不能做一个自定义快捷键的功能？如果能再提供一个自定义输入模板的功能就更加好啦。比如按下快捷键后，输入username回车，等一秒，输入password回车。

### 4/5 — 错误输入不能删除

输入错误了想删除没反应，快点解决输入错误不能删除的问题呀

### 1/5 — Immediately crashes in Terminal
