Lock Keyboard status on ios

[djaychela]

I think it would be really useful to be able to use the keyboard button at the top of the ios app to lock the keyboard status. I.e. Force the keyboard to stay on screen or not if selected to be disabled. At the moment it opens and closes at will, depending on what's happening on the screen. If i close it with the button and then tap on screen, I reopens in three steps which is annoying.

Also, enabling the ability to click and drag to copy text from the terminal would be useful. I had to get a desktop to grab a uuid from a command but it wasn't possible on ios because I can only copy the entire output buffer, not the section I needed from on screen such was really frustrating.

@djaychela 👋

Thanks so much for sharing your suggestions 🙏

✅ Keyboard Toggle Behavior

You can already fine-tune how the keyboard visibility behaves inside WebSSH.
Just go to:
Settings > SSH > Keyboard Visibility Swap Method (iOS)

There you’ll find 3 modes:

• On Navigation Bar Button → Keyboard only toggles with the top button
• On Screen Touch → Keyboard toggles when tapping the screen
• Both (default) → Reacts to both (which seems to bother you)

👉 Try selecting On Navigation Bar Button to keep the keyboard hidden unless explicitly toggled.

📝 Copying Terminal Output

Drag-to-select isn’t available yet 😕, but you can still grab text using this workaround:

⋯ > Copy > Show Scrollback Buffer

That opens a scrollback view where you can freely select and copy the output you need 📋

Thanks again for your valuable feedback — both points are spot-on and I’ll definitely keep them in mind 💡

Have a great day ☀️

The first option already makes the scroll back text usable, -I could have copied the uuid I needed in seconds with that turned on. Perhaps visual feedback on the keyboard icon would be nice, but just this setting is a huge improvement. Thanks for pointing it out.
