Improve iPad Experience

See original GitHub issue

I’ve been using code-server on an iPad this past week and think there’s a lot of room for improvement. I figured this could kick off the discussion.

Editor window is too large

Ideally it match the size of the iPad It appears this was happening in an older version of code-server v3.6.0 But does not appear in the latest version.

Can’t scroll with Trackpad

Vim extension doesn’t work

Related: #2527

Focus issues

When you change tabs in Chrome/Firefox and go back to the tab with code-server you have to click a file and then click back to the original file you had open to focus and actually type.

I was able to reproduce it with Codespaces. Filed an issue See: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/114012

Also related: all the other issues related to iPad

Note: the environment in which I was using iPad was through Coder’s product (though shouldn’t make a big difference).

@jsjoeio You need to be a registered dev to get the beta profile from https://developer.apple.com/ (if not, wait 1-2 days for the public beta release and then register https://beta.apple.com/) Once you install the profile, just restart your iPad and trigger the update again.
