Once you have the terminal window open, you have two alternatives. The first approach is to type

into the terminal window. This is more familiar for Linux and Unix users who are used to using a command line.Running SSH with a graphical user interface
The second option is to select New Remote Connection.. from the Shell menu of Terminal. This opens a graphical dialog asking for the host to connect to and the user name. This also allows saving connections. This is recommended for users who are not accustomed to using a command line.

I have purchased iSSH several years ago and that's what I've been using up until now, but since that particular client seems to be abandonware and hasn't been updated for several years (and now has problems such as an app crash when you close an active ssh connection, among other thing), I am now looking for a new one.
In a perfect world, this client would have either built-in or configurable touch gestures similar for Irssi Connectbot for Android, which automatically translates swiping left and right into Alt + ARROWKEY to switch between open Irssi windows and swiping up and down into PGDN/PGUP to scroll the terminal buffer.
Would also be nice if the app was fully aware of physical keyboard possibilities. I use a Logitech Type S with my Air 2 and in the iSSH app, I can't actually use the ALT + ARROWKEY combination on my physical keyboard as the app ignores it (even though ALT + NUMBER to switch between Irssi windows does work just fine), so I have to use the ALT + ARROWKEY on the iSSH's own modified on-screen keyboard and that works.
Any suggestions?
