Package: mssh Version: 2.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hey Hector.
(AFIACS, you're also the upstream of mssh and it has no upstream bug
tracker for feature requests).
I think it could be useful to have a tabbed mode in mssh, just as we
know it e.g. from firefox.
Actually, I'd have several tabbed modes in mind:
1) When opening multiple aliases, e.g.
mssh -a foo bar
There should be two tabs, each with the matrix of the hosts for the
respective tab, e.g.
+-----+
| foo +----+
+-----+----+----+---------------+
| | |
| 1 | 2 |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
| | |
| 3 | 4 |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
| | |
| 5 | 6 |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
+-----+
+----+ bar |
+----+-----+----+---------------+
| | |
| A | B |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
| | |
| C | |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
| | |
| | |
| | |
+---------------+---------------+
2) When doing something like:
mssh -s -a foo
(with -s standing for "single tabs")
It should be like this:
+-------+-------+-------+
| foo:1 | foo:2 | foo:3 | .....
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 1 |
| |
| |
| |
| |

+-------------------------------+
i.e. just as with a normal gnome-terminal... whole window is one SSH,
but mutliple of them opened automatically at onece.
- Obviously it would make sense to allow for a different font size
settings for that mode.
- And it would of course also make sense to add a keyboard shortcut to
rotate left/right through the tabs, ideally the same as e.g. gnome
-terminal has.
3) You can imagine already, that it may even make sense to mix modes
(1) and (2) :D
4) But more important would be, that one can join/split such tabs
into/from a mssh window. E.g. when one window gets too full, to have it
split up into many,... or to joint another set of tabs into an already
existing window (either in matrix style or not).
Best wishes,
Chris.
