Blink: App does not work when using the iPad in an external screen

Created on 11 Jul 2020  Â·  3Comments  Â·  Source: blinksh/blink

I have the paid version, and when I am working on an external monitor, I can connect to remote ssh servers. However, if I change and do something on another window and come back to blink, I cannot interact anymore with my session -- keyboard does not register any key.

I confirm this worked. Pressing ⌘ + O activated the keyboard on the monitor. I will proceed to close this report. Thanks for this amazing tool :)

When you connect your iPad to an external monitor, either via a HDMI adapter or AirPlay, and open Blink two terminals should open instead of mirroring the iPad's screen.

To switch between screens (iPad & monitor/TV) press ⌘ + O. You can also move the current terminal to another screen using ⌘ + Shift + O.

Feel free to experiment and test it out and reach back if you need further assistance. If you hold the ⌘ key you'll be prompted with all the available shortcuts.

We've released a new set of docs for users to fully understand Blink Shell. Working with multiple screens is not yet documented but we'll add it.

Thanks for the explanation. I will test it out and update you later.
