New features I'd like to see

[zitz]

There are times when I am working "side by side" on two or three hosts. Using tabbed mode is very convenient, if for no other reason that conserving screen real estate.

Having said that ... there are times when I want to compare files side-by-side from two different hosts. Or I want to easily drag'n'drop text from one host to another.

To that end, I would love to see the following features, in order of preference:

1. Capability to drag a tabbed session OFF the "primary" SecureCRT window
2. Capability to drag a second SecureCRT window on to a primary SecureCRT window that would merge the two into a tabbed view.
3. Capability to provide an MDI-like interface that permits one or multiple tabs to be viewed simultaneously within the controlling SecureCRT window.

This has been implemented in SecureCRT 6.0, which is in pre-beta testing. Currently, the following is supported.

• Clone a session in a new window.
• Send a tabbed session to a new window.
• Drag and drop tabbed sessions between SecureCRT windows.

If you'd like to try it, please send e-mail to me at Maureen.Jett@vandyke.com.

Item #3 has been implemented in a beta version of SecureCRT. If you'd like to try it, you can download the beta installer from the following web page:
