Description

We exit mosh using (Ctrl-^ + .) sequence. With the new software kb, it looks possible to input Ctrl+^ using the software keyboard (the blue in the screenshot above) but it only give a literal ^.
Maybe Ctrl + (swipe down input on software kb) doesn't work?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl-^ input on the iOS software keyboard while connected through mosh, then trace how keyboard gestures and control characters reach the terminal. Done means the software keyboard can send Ctrl-^ so the documented Ctrl-^ followed by . sequence exits mosh instead of inserting a literal ^.
