Tabs and windows
A window can hold several tabs, each with a server of its own: its own two panes, transfers, port forwards and terminal. With one tab there is no row of tabs, and the window looks as it always has.
- New tab: ⌘T, File → New Tab, or + at the end of the row. It opens on the list of servers.
- Switch: click a tab, ⌘1 to ⌘8 for the first eight, ⌘9 for the last, ⇧⌘] and ⇧⌘[ (or ⌃Tab and ⌃⇧Tab) for the next and the one before.
- Close: ⌘W, the × on the tab, or a middle click. Closing a tab disconnects its server and stops its forwards. When transfers are still going in it, etrans asks first; what they copied is kept, and sending the same files again carries on from there. Closing the last tab closes the window. Close Window (⇧⌘W) closes all the tabs at once.
A tab shows the server it is on, dimmed while it is connecting or getting a lost connection back, with the number of transfers running in it. A dot on a tab in the back means something in it is waiting for an answer, such as a password or a file that is already there.
An sftp:// link, or etrans on the command line, connects in the tab in
front when it is free, otherwise in another free tab, otherwise in a new tab.
New Window (⌘N) still opens a separate window.
The terminal moved from ⌘T to ⇧⌘T in 0.6.0, so ⌘T could be New Tab, as it is in Finder and Safari.
