Some UI improvements, especially for when you're dealing with (ugh) connection errors. Now get more details about what's going wrong!

This one's for everyone who ever opened the file browser, needed something in /var/log or /etc, and hit an invisible wall. The shell always let you cd anywhere — now the file browser keeps up: • Go up. When you're at the top of the browser, there's a new button that takes you up a level — keep tapping and you'll land at /. Anything your login can read, you can browse. • Go anywhere. Pick "Go to Folder…" from the menu and type a path. /var/log, ~/projects, even a bare logs relative to where you signed in — LexShell checks it's a real folder and jumps straight there. • Know where you are. Once you wander off, the title shows the folder you're actually in instead of the server's name. And as before, if you always want a connection to start somewhere specific, set its directory in the connection editor — that's now just where browsing starts, not a fence. This update has other improvements to syncing, SFTP, and SSH keys. The syncing improvements include syncing your saved snippets across devices. Phew!

Version 1.2 introduced LexShell Pro. But you couldn't successfully sign up for the lifetime subscription. Now you can. Previously: Bug fixes and a whole new thing: LexShell Pro. LexShell Pro: 1Password Integration Fetch SSH keys from 1Password when you connect. Your keys can stay where your keys live. SFTP File Browser Browse remote files right inside LexShell. Upload, download, rename, delete, and create folders without fleeing to another app. Files App Integration Your saved remote servers can now appear as locations in the iOS Files app. The Files app: now with files from even farther away. Snippets Save frequently used commands and run them straight from the terminal key bar. Less typing, fewer opportunities to typo sudo. Support an Indie Developer Not technically a feature. Still pretty great. Meanwhile, for everyone: SSH connections got a little less fussy Paste in an SSH destination however you’ve got it. LexShell is now much better at figuring out what you meant: * example.com:2222 or even 10.0.0.5#2222 → host + port. We speak weird. * root@example.com:2200 → username + host + port. * ssh:// and sftp:// prefixes → politely removed. * IPv6 → handled without losing our minds over all those colons. Bare addresses like fe80::1 stay intact, while [::1]:2222 works exactly as it should. * Bogus ports — too big, not numbers, mysteriously empty — are rejected rather than treated as exciting new networking standards. Also: If you try to connect without entering a username, LexShell now warns you instead of letting you boldly march toward failure. Hardened SSH servers now like us Some hardened servers only allow OpenSSH’s ETM MAC algorithms. Previously, LexShell would attempt to connect, receive an extremely helpful "End of file", and give up before authentication. LexShell now supports hmac-sha2-256/512-etm@openssh.com, so those connections work normally. Also, server login banners now actually appear in the terminal instead of being quietly tossed into the void. New preference: Double-tap for tab completion If one tap is good and two taps are somehow more Tab, this setting is for you. VoiceOver support went from middling to very good in this release, too. And pasting is easier, especially via the keyboard or the new Paste button the virtual keyboard.

Send any Control-Key combo with the new Control modifier, and customize the “special keys” bonus keyboard row in Settings. Plus Control-R is now a default keyboard key, because you were very clear that you needed that! Before, you couldn’t switch the app icon to the oyster shell version. Now you can. Whoops!
