Issue with keyboard from iOS

When using iOS mobile to connect to the MacBook, the delete button returns the letter a. Continue to be a problem, switched back to using Moshi. Mainly use this to make sure apps are open.

Shortcuts and esc key does not work on the remote host

I use esc key a lot when I’m coding and the app just exit when I hit esc. Some productivity shortcuts don’t work, like switching apps on Mac. Other than that the app works great.
