I’ve been using Terminals for a few years now and it has a feature which I will try to describe and also attach as a screenshot. I would like this feature to be implemented in Royal TS. Please vote if you would like it as well.
The feature I’m referring to in Terminals has a label called “Connect To:” and is an entry field (and a dropdown box which I never use).
This field kan be activated with a short-cut or with a mouse-click.
Upon activation I can start typing the name of a server to which I want to connect which is stored in mijn shortcuts database. Whilst typing Terminals auto-completes your entry based on the characters your typing. Pressing Enter wil activate the shortcut which at that moment is present in the field. If I enter a shortcut which is not in my database I get the option to add it.
Next to the the field are 4 buttons, 2 of which I find important but only use in specific situations. The most important of these is the “Connect to Console” button which I use to login an administrative session with my administrative account to manage an actual remote desktop farm. The other button is an option to connect to the shortcut which I selected with a different user account.
Now I know Royal TS has a similar function (namely the search function) but it has several drawbacks:
-
The tree has to remain visible
-
If the tree is undocked from the application it is able to float and can be resized. But I am forced to either place it outside the screen on a different monitor or I’m forced to place it on Royal TS in my working area thus obscuring my sight requiring me to regulary move it.
-
It is necessary to hit ENTER twice.
-
No auto-complete
That’s why I would like the function in Roytal TS to appear above the ribbon so that I have as much space for my remote server consoles as my monitor permits.
I searched through the requested features on the site and found 2 features that have similar (but not the same) problems and whishes:
