Anybody using Ish?

It reads. So if I install a package, fine, I get the terminal output. What it doesn't seem to do is edit. I've installed nano and most things don't seem to work. On the Mac, I can move with the arrows, ctrl-left/right moves by word, and so on. That doesn't seem to work in Ish on iOS.

Anybody have tips? Alternatively, is there something other than Ish that does better? Note I want this to run on the phone, I'm not trying to connect to another Unix system. Well, unless there's a way to run my Mac from the phone? I don't think there is but that might do something, if I could connect to the Mac and just run its terminal. Seems like just using the phone would be simpler and easier though.
