Features

Everything you open forty times a day

TuxShell keeps your hosts in one place and connects with the system ssh. Here is everything it does once you're connected.

Your hosts

Hosts: Saved hosts with groups, tags, jump hosts (ProxyJump) and identity files. Filter, bulk select and delete. Optional operating system per host, shown with its logo; the host editor can detect it when you ask.
Host status: A dot shows which hosts answer ping: up, slow or down. Checked with ICMP, never by opening SSH connections; can be turned off. Test a host's login from its form.
Organize: Drag groups and hosts into your own order or another group, also with the keyboard (Alt ↑ Alt ↓) and the right-click menu.
Import and export: Import from ~/.ssh/config, CSV/TSV, Excel, MobaXterm, Remmina, Remote Desktop (.rdp) files, PuTTY and Ansible INI inventories, with a preview of every host. Export as TuxShell JSON, CSV or ssh_config. Exports never contain passwords.
Home: A start page with your hosts, snippets and tunnels. It reminds you of ~/.ssh/config hosts you haven't saved.

Tabs and split view: Up to four panes per tab. Merge tabs into a split, move a pane out, maximize a pane, drag dividers to resize. Duplicate a tab, or reconnect all its panes.
Saved layouts: Save a set of tabs with their split panes and open them all again in one click. One layout can open at startup.
Quick connect: Fuzzy search your hosts, snippets, tunnels and actions, or type user@host:port. Open a result in a split. Ctrl K
Broadcast typing: Type into all panes of a tab at once, leaving out any pane you choose. Ctrl Shift B
Snippets: Saved commands, pasted into the terminal from Ctrl+K. They never run until you press Enter.
Tunnels: Local port forwards and SOCKS proxies through a saved host, listening on 127.0.0.1 only.
Shared connections: New panes, splits and the file browser reuse an open SSH connection, so you log in once.
How fast it answers: The status bar shows echo (how long typed keys take to come back from the server) and draw (how long TuxShell takes to show them).

File browser: Browse the focused pane's host, download (then Open or Show in folder), upload with a file picker or drag-and-drop. Rename, create folders, delete and change permissions, or edit a file in your desktop editor and upload it back. Never overwrites files on either side unasked. Ctrl Shift E
Clipboard history: Encrypted at rest with a key in your keyring. Skips password- and token-looking text. Pin and edit clips; each shows which host it came from. Ctrl Shift H
History and recording: Home → History lists your connections (never commands or output). Optionally record a session's screen output and play it back inside TuxShell.

In their own window: FreeRDP 3: shared folders, copy and paste of text and files, sound and microphone, printers, smart cards, USB devices (beta), one program only (RemoteApp), quality presets, RD Gateway, multiple monitors.
In a tab beta: Built in: copy and paste of text and files, resizes with the tab.
Safe by default: Certificates are pinned and you're warned if one changes. RDP hosts can go through an SSH jump host.
Imports: Remmina connections and Windows .rdp files import with their settings.

Terminal profiles: Per-host colours, background image, pane header colour, scrolling and bell options, and a command to run on connect.
Preferences: Font (bundled or any installed monospace font), size, spacing, cursor, colour schemes (Solarized, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, One Dark, Tango…), scrollback, copy on select, right-click paste. Ctrl ,
Shortcuts: All listed in Preferences → Shortcuts, where you can change them or turn them off. On macOS they use ⌘.
Themes: Dark and light, or follow the system.
