Support for iPadOS
The iOS app should be updated to include features of iPadOS.
- Native cursor support. In iPad OS 13.4 Apple added mouse/trackpad support to iPadOS. Control should be able to recognize that there is a Bluetooth mouse connected and remove the on screen mouse in favor of the native experience. Including gestures and right click.
- Recognize if a keyboard is connected. If a keyboard is connected, always keep the keyboard activated in the app. Also add support for modifier keys. I think shift works, but not CTRL, Windows Key, etc.
- Ability to send/receive files to and from remote sessions. Utilize the Files app on iPadOS to be able to send/receive files.
- Multi Window Support. In iPadOS 13 you have the ability to run multiple instances of the app. This would be great for being remoted in on multiple computers.
I agree and i have a feature request for this also. I 100% agree on all 4 points. But stress 1, 2, and 4. Cursor support for IOS is a must now that Apple fully supports it. Keyboard support has been flacky for Bluetooth keyboards for a a long time. The fact that it closes out and you have to reopen periodically is case in point. And on Step 4, There should of been a way to open multiple sessions for years. So you could quickly bounce back and forth between sessions. Sort of a tabbed solution possibly. I typically work on multiple PC’s doing updates and this is a must for me.
On Step 3, I do agree with this. It hasn’t been on my radar, but to add to this, Being able to print remotely through to your iPad like you can a windows PC remotely would be a nice addition. But I definitely see the use of finding a fix on your IPad browser, downloading it and then transferring it to your remote session. It would also be nice to copy and paste text between IPad and remote session.
