Poderosa
Previously, the Poderosa version 4 series has been released as an open source SSH client for Windows, but after major renewal in 2016 the major version was also 5. The new Poderosa is a paid software, not an open source, but you can evaluate it until you love Poderosa.
Shell is an old but good interface for engineers and computers to communicate , but it is not a field that has never withered, given the goal of attracting engineers in the shell. It is not easy to achieve both ease of use and abundant functions, stylish UI, support of various platforms, but the new Poderosa aims to be “a good shell operating environment chosen as a good engineer”.
Features
(1) Splitting Screen and Tab
| We adopt screen split and tab-shape UI which was popular since old Poderosa as it is. Let’s construct shell life in which you use connection to more than one host properly, edit the configuration file with seeing log, and so on. |  |
(2) Caret and Animation
| Flashing quadrangle is normal as caret of terminal, but in new Poderosa, you can use these carets with animation. Because it’s possible to make setting differ in each connection, you can change mood in staging/development environment and production environment. |
(3) Shell Assist Feature
| You can select command entry candidates using the your input history and select them with the function keys. You can also use TouchBar on Macbook! For details, please see manual . |  |
(4) Effect of That Movie, Too
| Although it’s a joke, there is an option to copy opening of that famous movie! Especially, it’s recommended when log is run by tail -f ! Off course, we aren’t only playing around, as a terminal, this has enough necessary functions. |
