Does it have the same issue with key repeat? It's a long standing iOS bug, but some apps seem to fix it (somehow). Without the fix, vim ends up being essentially unusable since I can't press and hold on the cursor movement keys. iSH, for example, hits the bug and it severely limits the usefulness of the app.

Last time I checked system-level key repeat is only for arrows, space, enter, — not letters.

Some apps just implement it manually, but yeah.

Don’t fool yourself into using iPad as your work machine. Buy a macbook.

As someone interested in mobile workflows, say more?

Where are you running into barriers on iPad for your work? (I believe it, plenty of examples - curious what yours is!)
