Allow SSH connections to be routed through SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxies.
Backend:
- Add ProxyType, ProxyHost, ProxyPort, ProxyUsername, ProxyPassword to SSHConfig
- dialTarget() dispatches to direct TCP, SOCKS5, or HTTP CONNECT based on config
- SOCKS5: uses golang.org/x/net/proxy with optional username/password auth
- HTTP CONNECT: sends CONNECT request with optional Basic auth, validates 200 OK
- Proxy dialling replaces ssh.Dial for non-jump-host connections; the resulting
net.Conn is passed to ssh.NewClientConn for the SSH handshake
Frontend:
- Add Proxy section to SSH profile editor (collapsed by default)
- Proxy type selector: None / SOCKS5 / HTTP CONNECT
- Host, port, username, password fields
- Collect proxy values on save
Automatically generate and submit TOTP codes during SSH keyboard-interactive
authentication when a secret is configured for the profile.
Backend:
- Add TOTPSecret field to SSHConfig model
- Detect TOTP/2FA prompts in keyboard-interactive handler using keyword
matching (verification code, otp, authenticator, 2fa, etc.)
- Generate 6-digit TOTP codes using pquerna/otp library
- Retrieve TOTP secret from vault during connection (keychain or file vault)
- API: SetTOTPSecret, GetTOTPCode, HasTOTPSecret, DeleteTOTPSecret
Frontend:
- Add TOTP/2FA section to SSH profile editor (collapsed by default)
- Password-masked secret input with show/hide toggle
- Save button: encrypts and stores in vault
- Test button: generates a live 6-digit code (shown for 5 seconds)
- Delete button: removes stored secret
- Auto-detect whether secret is already saved (placeholder indicator)
- CSS for TOTP input row, danger button style
Implement expect-style auto-login scripts for SSH and Telnet connections.
Each script is an ordered list of 'wait' (match text in output) and 'send'
(write text + newline) steps that execute sequentially after connection.
Backend:
- Add LoginScriptStep model (type, value, timeout) to models.go
- Add loginScripts field to SSHConfig and TelnetConfig
- Add loginBuf/loginDone on Session struct for output buffering
- Hook onData callbacks to feed login buffer during script execution
- executeLoginScripts() runs steps in a goroutine after connect
- waitForOutput() polls session buffer with configurable timeout
Frontend:
- Add _renderLoginScriptSection() to profile editor
- Interactive step list: add/remove/reorder wait and send steps
- Type selector, value input, timeout for wait steps
- Collect loginScripts as JSON from hidden field
- CSS for login script rows, actions, add buttons
Replaces the simple host:port text prompt with a proper dialog featuring:
- Protocol selector (SSH, Telnet, RAW TCP)
- Host input field
- Port field (auto-updates default when protocol changes)
- Username field (shown only for SSH)
- Enter key submits, Escape cancels
- Uses ConnectQuick API for unsaved ad-hoc connections
Full command snippet library for saving and sending reusable commands:
Backend:
- SQLite migration 003 creates snippets table
- Snippet model with name, command, description, folder, tags
- Store CRUD methods and API endpoints
Frontend:
- SnippetLibrary class with searchable list + detail/editor split view
- Create, edit, delete snippets in modal dialog
- 'Send to Session' button writes command to active terminal
- 'Send Snippet' option in terminal right-click context menu
- Ctrl+Shift+S keyboard shortcut to open library
Broadcast mode sends keystrokes from the active terminal to all other
connected sessions simultaneously. Useful for applying the same
commands across multiple servers.
- Toggle via Ctrl+Shift+B keyboard shortcut or broadcast button in tab bar
- Visual indicator: broadcast button pulses red when active
- Only sends to sessions in 'connected' state
- Notification on toggle
- State stored in app state object
Right-clicking the terminal viewport shows a context menu with:
- Copy (enabled when text is selected)
- Paste (reads from clipboard)
- Select All
- Find (opens the search bar)
- Clear Terminal
- Reset Terminal
Uses the existing context-menu CSS classes for consistency with the
tab context menu. WKWebView mousedown prevention on menu items to
avoid deselecting text before copy.
Replaces the basic find bar with a polished overlay that matches the
terminal-search CSS. Features:
- Case sensitivity toggle (Aa button)
- Regular expression toggle (.* button)
- Match status indicator (found/no matches)
- Smooth entrance/exit animation
- Clears search decorations on close
- Re-focuses existing bar if already open
Sessions configured with auto-reconnect will automatically attempt to
re-establish the connection when unexpectedly disconnected. Uses
exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s... up to 30s) with a configurable
maximum number of attempts (default 5).
- New SessionReconnecting state with pulsing indicator in tab bar
- SSH and Telnet profiles gain autoReconnect and maxReconnectTries fields
- RAW protocol already had autoReconnect; now uses the shared mechanism
- CancelReconnect API to abort in-progress reconnection
- Frontend shows reconnect attempt notifications
- Profile editor exposes toggle and max attempts in Advanced/Reconnection
Uses Wails runtime ClipboardGetText/ClipboardSetText for reliable
clipboard access in WKWebView. Falls back to navigator.clipboard API.
Cmd+C copies selected text (passes through as SIGINT when no selection).
Cmd+V pastes clipboard contents via xterm.js term.paste().
Removed conflicting padding from layout.css and terminal.css that
stacked to ~11px. Now a single 3px top+left padding is applied
directly on the .xterm element, keeping text visible and tidy.
