Advanced keyboard support for iPad

Hey guys!

 

1. I use vim-like keyboard plugins in IDEs so I rely on key repeat a lot. Currently RD client on iPad with external keyboard doesn’t transmit key repeat. For example if you press and hold “j” key it will not be repeated. Please implement the workaround for this feature inside the app (e.g. see how it works in Blink Shell iPad app). Possible “hacks” for that here https://github.com/ish-app/ish/issues/454#issuecomment-739584467

 

2. I have custom key bindings on my windows with autohotkey. For example, I use “esc + j” for down arrow; “esc + y” for home, etc. These are essential on small keyboard like the magic keyboard. All of this doesn’t work with RD client because it looks like it doesn’t transmit key combintations like that. Please implement this feature (e .g. see how it works in Jump desktop app).
