Q: Does that include Unicode support for languages such as Japanese and Chinese?
A: Version 1.2.2 implemented UTF-8 character display, but TinyTERM for iPad
does not include support for the full Unicode character set at this time.
Q: How much of the emulator screen does the keyboard cover?
A: It doesn't have to cover the emulator screen at all. TinyTERM can
dynamically resize the emulator window
when the keyboard comes up, so that no information gets hidden
behind the keys. Or the keyboard can be made transparent, so the emulator text isn't
resized, but can still be read underneath the keyboard.
Q: The default iPad keyboard doesn't include all the terminal keys. Does
TinyTERM include function keys, arrow keys and the like?
A: Yes. TinyTERM has an extended keyboard that includes function keys
F1-F12, all four arrow keys, Ins, Del, End, Home, PgUp, PgDn, Esc, Tab, Ctrl
and Shift. The image at right shows the extra keys in landscape mode, using the
standard iPad keyboard.
Q: Are there also PF1-PF4 keys for VT emulations?
A: The F1-F4 function keys act as PF keys for VT100, VT220, etc. The
VT220 (STD 437) keyboard layout also includes PF1-PF4, Help
and Do keys.
Q: How do I restore the keyboard when it's hidden?
A: Just tap the screen once. This works in landscape or portrait
mode.
Q: Can the keyboard be modified?
A: Yes. Instructions are on
this page.
Q: Will it use an external keyboard?
A: Yes. TinyTERM supports both dock and Bluetooth keyboards.
