SSH Terminal

MyShell Terminal provides a professional terminal experience with multi-tab, split panes, and input broadcast.

Multi-Tab Management

New Tab

• Click the + button in the tab bar
• Each tab maintains an independent SSH session
• Tabs are draggable for reordering

Tab Operations

• Right-click a tab: close, close others, close to the right

Split Panes

Right-click in the terminal area and select Split Horizontal or Split Vertical:

• Horizontal: two terminals stacked vertically
• Vertical: two terminals side by side
• Panes are resizable by dragging

Each pane can connect to a different server for comparison.

Input Broadcast

Broadcast mode sends your input to all open terminals simultaneously:

1. Right-click → Input Broadcast to enable
2. Type in any terminal — all terminals execute the same command
3. Click again to disable

Use Case

When you need to run the same command on multiple servers (e.g., restart services, check status), input broadcast greatly improves efficiency.

Connection Management

Auto-Reconnect

The terminal automatically detects disconnections and attempts to reconnect.

Session Restore

MyShell Terminal supports session restoration. Tabs are restored when the app reopens after an unexpected close.

Connection Keep-Alive & Reconnect

Long-idle sessions stay alive instead of being silently dropped by network devices.

Keep-Alive

A built-in keep-alive mechanism keeps connections healthy. Configure the interval and count in Settings → Connection.

Disconnection Hints

Connection problems are shown progressively as they develop:

• Yellow / orange indicators show degrading connection quality
• A full-offline mask appears once the session is lost, freezing input to prevent mistyped commands

Auto-Reconnect

When a session drops, MyShell Terminal retries automatically at increasing intervals: 1, 2, 5, 10, then 30 seconds. Reconnection can be cancelled at any time, or triggered immediately with a manual retry.

Paused While Offline

Tabs that are disconnected pause their file manager and monitoring panel refresh. Both resume automatically once the connection is restored.
