- Some short cuts expectations may not be met
20+
- `command + n` opens new browser window instead of new file and difficult to even set to another quick key
21+
- In general it's just note worthy you most likely will need to edit keyboard shortcuts
22+
- No escape key by default on Magic Keyboard but everyone sets the globe key to be an escape key
23+
- Opinion: It's actually an awesome joy having the escape key at bottom of keyboard

- Alternative: Install line-jump extension and use keyboard to nav by jumping large amount of lines

## Raspberry Pi USB-C Network
82+
83+
It is a bit out of scope for this project, however, great success is being reported using iPad on the go with just a single USB-C cable connected to a Raspberry Pi both powering and supplying direct network access. Many support articles already exist but the key steps boil down to turning on Network over USB-C on the Raspberry Pi itself and the rest of the steps are just like getting Code Server running any where else.

> Here are my keys to success. I bought a 4" touch screen with fan included that attaches as a case to the Pi. I use the touch screen for anytime I have connection issues, otherwise I turn off the Pi screen. I gave my Pi a network name so I can easily connect at home on wifi or when on go with 1 usb-c cable that supplys both power and network connectivity. Lastly, not all usb-c cables are equal and not all will work so try different usb-c cables if you are going mad (confirm over wifi first then move to cable).

## Recommendations
98+
99+
Once you have code-server accessible to your iPad a few things could help save you time:
100+
101+
- Use multi task mode to make code changes and see browser at the same time
102+
- Prevents iOs background dropping an App's state if you are full screen switching between code-server and browser
103+
- Be sure you are using the debug/terminal that is built into VS Code so that you don’t need another terminal app running
104+
- Again, prevents switching between full screen app and losing your view to iOs background app memory management
105+
- You should be of a mindset willing to deal and adapt with differences in having an imperfect experience, for the perceived joyful benefits of interacting with your computer in more intuitive ways

## By 2022 iPad coding more desirable on Arm Macs
108+

> This section is generalized opinions intended to inform fellow Apple product consumers of perceived over time changes coming down the line
110+
111+
The general feeling from overall Apple movements recently, is that the Mac arm processors are in fact helping support the direction of having Macs with touch screens. Many great YouTube videos of interest call out highly suggestive evidence. In the past Apple has hard declared reasons of body fatigue and such as why not to encourage nor further developments on the iPad touch experience mixed with a keyboard/mouse/trackpad. Regardless, products and software have been released further supporting just that very experience.
112+
113+
The iPad coding experience has been a joy for some of us that are willing to trade an imperfect experience for a uniquely effective focus driven experience. Note worthy, some of us think it's a trashy waste of time. This experience is undoubtably going to get better just by the work that can be seen by all parties, even in our own code-server attempt to make it better.
114+
115+
Lastly, it is note worthy that if you have decided to incorporate a Raspberry Pi into you iPad coding experience, they are Arm processors. You are perfectly lined up with the future of Macs as well.
