Blink: Caps lock as ctrl doesn't work with version 13 on smart keyboard

It worked on iPadOS previously (albeit kind of unreliably), but not since the update the other day.

I've also discovered I can't send ctrl+space regardless of whether or not I have "Grab Ctrl+Space" disabled. Given that I use this app primarily for Emacs over SSH, these two problems make the app 90% unusable for me.

THANK GOD! I thought I was going crazy. I’m having the same issue - iPadOS on a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard.

Yeah basically none of my key mappings work anymore. Caps Lock -> Ctrl and Ctrl -> Esc.

Worse, Ctrl is unreliable mapped so sometimes I don’t have a Ctrl key...

Curiously, "caps lock as ctrl" does seem to work for ctrl+/

Same here, caps lock does not work properly since I upgrade to iPad OS 13.2

Indeed, with out caps mapping, emacs and tmux need ctrl so often that almost broke my little finger.

Anybody figured out any workarounds that work? I’m trying out Terminus but I really prefer Blink and I don’t like the idea of having to pay a subscription for my SSH client. If it’s a money thing I’d rather kick some money towards Blink than Terminus.

732 covers this issue.

it would be great if this issue could be prioritized for a fix — i use blink daily with emacs but the broken keybindings are making it extremely painful.
