Features ideas

[Maks Skórka]

Hi,

First, thanks for the app. Since JuiceSSH servers stopped working (and the Pro features as well), I tested a couple of SSH apps on Android, and SaftSSH seems to be the top choice for me right now. I have already purchased the Pro version.

Answering your question from the other topic: "I’d love your thoughts on the best settings for character width and text centering": From my perspective on the Samsung Galaxy S23, the best Character Width is around 0.85. To be honest, I don't see much difference in the Glyph Centering settings, so I left it at the default 0.50.

I have some ideas that would be great if you could address:

1. The Password text box in the New identity and New connection forms is not recognized as a password field by Android.

There are at least two consequences of this:

• The Android keyboard (Swiftkey in my case) does not recognize it as a password field and remembers what you type. In the future, it may suggest your password in other apps as if it were a normal, frequently used word. I think this is unacceptable from a security perspective. In the screenshot below, I typed secretpassword, but keyboard suggests secret password instead.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Depending on keyboard settings, most keyboards automatically add a space after a dot, comma, or question mark etc. If a user has these characters in their password, a space is added, which can be confusing. In the screenshot below, I typed secret.password, but as you can see, the field contains secret. password instead.
  
  
  

2. Ability to reorder groups (Management, Recent connections, Tools)

In my view, the Recent connections section will be used most frequently by most users. Once they have configured their connections in Management, they will likely want to connect to a server quickly upon opening the app. It would be nice to be able to reorder these three sections according to individual needs.

3. Ability to set the number of connections in the Recent connections section

As mentioned above, the Recent connections section is likely the most used. It would be great to be able to configure this section to display the last N connections, rather than a hardcoded limit of 3—or even provide the option to list all of them there.

Once again, thanks for your work,

Maks
