New iPad Pro with M4 chip and Apple Pencil Pro

I think this is essentially a portable terminal, just like the phone. Most of my work on laptop for development is to get on high-powered workstation or servers anyway. For occasionally SSH-ing with tmux session, it’s pretty great (although I can’t swap ctrl with caps, which sucks).

I do wish iPad had something to push me over to replace my laptop for that use case, but I’m too used to windowed environment.

Settings -> general -> keyboard -> hardware keyboard -> modifier keys -> caps lock

I have mine bound to esc since I use vim as my main editor, but ctrl is also an option.

As for the soft keyboard, at least in termius this is remappable in the settings (I think blink also)

Somehow “$1500 portable terminal, with some effort” just doesn’t make me feel burning desire.
