Q: Does that include Unicode support for languages such as Japanese and Chinese?

A: Not yet. TinyTERM iTX for iPhone supports UTF-8, but does not include support for the full Unicode character set at this time.

Q: How much of the emulator screen does the keyboard cover?

A: It doesn't have to cover the emulator screen at all. TinyTERM can dynamically resize the emulator window when the keyboard comes up, so that no information gets hidden behind the keys. Or the keyboard can be made transparent, so the emulator text isn't resized, but can still be read underneath the keyboard.

Q: The default iPad keyboard doesn't include all the terminal keys. Does TinyTERM include function keys, arrow keys and the like?

A: Yes. TinyTERM has an extended keyboard that includes function keys F1-F12, all four arrow keys, Ins, Del, End, Home, PgUp, PgDn, Esc, Tab, Ctrl and Shift.

Q: Are there also PF1-PF4 keys for VT emulations?

A: The F1-F4 function keys act as PF keys for VT100, VT220, etc.

Q: How do I hide the keyboard, or restore the keyboard when it's hidden?

A: Just tap the keyboard icon pictured at right. You'll find it in the TinyTERM ITX title bar.

Q: Can the keyboard be modified?

A: Yes. Instructions are on this page.

Q: Will it use an external keyboard?

A: Yes. TinyTERM supports both dock and Bluetooth keyboards.
