Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Upfront: This is a fantastic piece of software… It is a lot of fun to work with and for the most part it has been working exceptionally well.

Although, there doesn’t seem to be a way to paste text into a jQuery Terminal cursor line with a browser running on iOS (Firefox, Safari, or Chrome on iOS 12.1.2). Is this an erroneous assumption?

(An increasingly complicated route has begun in trying to circumvent this seeming limitation, though confirmation that this is actually an issue before going further down the road is probably wise, as a work-around might already be known.)

Loading jQuery Terminal without its CSS —thus exposing the raw inputs—allows an ability to paste and parse text in the expected ways, though it would be fantastic if the same affordances were offered in ‘proper’ emulation.

The primary use case is pasting complex passwords into jQuery Terminal’s login feature.

It’s only POC for paste, cursor is always at the end. It should work correctly when added to terminal. I hope the matching of terminal cursor and android cursor will be possible.

It’s been a while (more then a year) but I finally added mobile paste, after adding touch scroll for less (so you can scroll wikipedia articles on 404 page on mobile).
