【Master Your Cursor on iOS】 As a developer, I was frustrated with editing code and managing SSH sessions on my iPhone. The native "magnifying glass" cursor is slow, and my fingers often blocked the text I was trying to select. I built VimKey to scratch my own itch. It brings the precision of desktop editing to your mobile device. Key Features: * Vim-Style Navigation: Use the legendary HJKL (←↓↑→) keys to move the cursor. Keep your hands on the keyboard and fly through text. * Dedicated Arrow Keys: Includes a standard directional pad for precise control without blocking the screen. * Dual Layouts: Seamlessly switch between the navigation layout and a standard QWERTY keyboard (Unlock QWERTY for 30 minutes by watching a short ad, or unlock forever with a one-time purchase). * Privacy First: We respect your data. "Full Access" is requested ONLY to provide haptic feedback and click sounds. We strictly do NOT collect, store, or transmit your keystrokes. Important Note: * Due to browser limitations on iOS, special keys (Esc, Tab, Ctrl) and arrow keys do NOT work in browser-based WebSSH clients. For the best experience, please use a native Terminal app. Contact: I'm actively improving this app based on user feedback. Email: mozhenbear@zodic.dev

**New Features** - Built-in Notepad: Since many apps have poor support for arrow keys with custom keyboards, we've added an in-app notepad where you can use full Vim-style navigation. Edit your text with complete arrow key support, then copy it to any other app with one tap - Full Access Banner: When full access is not granted, a banner will remind you that full access is required for arrow key functionality - **Improvements** - Optimized keyboard initialization for significantly improved startup speed and stability - Fixed notepad saving issues to ensure your edits are properly saved - Enhanced multi-language support (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English) - Improved user interface by removing unnecessary banners **Why Built-in Notepad?** Many apps (Messages, Mail, etc.) have incomplete support for arrow keys with custom keyboards, preventing proper Vim-style cursor control. Our built-in notepad provides perfect arrow key support, allowing you to: - Use HJKL or arrow keys for precise cursor control - Use Home/End to quickly jump to line start/end - Copy all content with one tap when done - Paste into any other app
