iOS shell reconnaissance (Blink Shell, a-Shell, iSH) #5

Description

@digitalby

iOS terminal emulators are all poor with VoiceOver. Blink Shell has the most effort but its gestures conflict with VO per AppleVis threads. a-Shell and iSH have no documented VO support.

Investigate:

  • Whether Blink Shell can host a Python venv with `acc` (it has Mosh/SSH primarily, unclear on local Python)
  • Whether `acc` running remotely (SSH from Blink to a Mac/Linux box) preserves behavior under VoiceOver
  • Whether a-Shell's offline Python can run `acc` at all
