ctrl-c does not work in console mode using an external keyboard

[joefitzgerald]

Given these preconditions:

• Console mode
• Using an external keyboard (I am using an iPad Magic Keyboard)
• Using 1.0-rc2
• Using an alpine VM (a precondition only because I haven't tested with other images)

ctrl-c does not work. I have to resort to using the soft-control key on the screen and then can type c on the keyboard.

The new console mode is fantastic! Text is wonderfully crisp 😄 . Thanks for everything you're doing here.

What kind of keyboard is this? Is it possible you’ve pressed Cmd+C instead?

Definitely using ctrl - c (and not cmd - c). I am using a Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (4th generation), with an English (US) layout, and the following options:

I hate web dev so fucking much... According to https://keycode.info safari on iOS sends keycode 13 (Enter) for ctrl+c while on safari for Mac, the keycode is 67 (C).

@codecod3r It's already fixed.
