New session opens a separate window

[RogerB]

When I open a session within SecureCRT, it opens a separate window for each new session. I don't think I changed anything, but what I want is for the new session to just open up a new tab. Can anyone guide me on how to configure that?

When you right-click on a session or a folder within the Session Manager, there is an option called "Open Sessions in a Tab/Tile" near the bottom of the resulting context menu. If this option is selected, new sessions should be opened in a tab in the current SecureCRT Window.

I've attached an image highlighting the option in the context menu for you.

This option can also be toggled in the Terminal category called Connect sessions in tabs under Options > Global Options.

If you're on Windows/Linux, one way that this might get toggled accidentally is by pressing "T" on your keyboard while the Session Manager's context menu is open (since 'T' is the accelerator for that specific menu item).
