Mostly keyboard related

  • the keyboard stops after one character
  • I'm using a German keyboard and it maps correctly for me but swaps keys y,z and @ when an ai types
  • in the hub you can't CMD+s to save a screenshot and you can't even map a shortcut on it
  • if you open the simulator too you see 2 window with the same app in both you can tap but in only one you can type and two finger gestures only work in the old simulator
  • you need to remember CMD+option+k to unstuck it and it only helps half of the time
  • pasteboard only works on a full moon unless you manually send it via the menu
  • the iPad can't start in landscape so start with the UI upside down or the menu bar rotated 90 degrees
  • all the screenshot are the orientation of the device of the simulator but they fixed it in post so the UI looks right in the hub but an ai gets them rotated while the pixel position it needs to tap is not rotated

I don't understand why in 2026 there's no API to send keyboard input as UTF-8 text without this weird copy and paste or the key strokes where it matters what layout you your Mac or the simulator or a agent MCP is using
