Terminal

Tabs

Every session opens in a tab: SSH, a remote desktop, files, a tool. The coloured dot on a tab says whether its session is connected, connecting, or disconnected.

Open, switch, close

  • Open: double-click a server in the sidebar, or click it once in Favorites and Recent; ⌘N for a new connection, ⌘K for a quick one.
  • Switch: ⌃Tab and ⌃⇧Tab, or ⌘1 to ⌘9.
  • Move: drag the tab. The rows of Active Sessions, in the sidebar, drag into the tab bar too.
  • Close: the tab's cross, or ⌘W, with no confirmation. Typing exit closes the tab as well; a network cut does not (see reconnection).

A tab's menu

Right-click the tab: group the tabs of its folder, New group with this tab, Add to group, remove it from its group, collapse the other groups, expand them all, and close the tab.

From the keyboard

⌘⇧↑ gives the keyboard to the tab bar. The arrows walk the tabs without showing them; Return shows the chosen tab and hands the keyboard back to the session; Esc comes back changing nothing. ⌥← and ⌥→ move the tab, or the group.

Applies to SSHive 2.0.6 on Mac
