When the column is pasted, the trailing empty spaces are pasted as well. Let’s try copying the left column from the split window of vim: Pasting this to Notepad produces: When highlighting the pasted text, the empty spaces at the end of lines are clearly included.

With our latest update, Xmanager Enterprise Build 0769 and Xshell build 0788, we’ve included Nagle’s Algorithm for user who have network congestion issues.

You will have to send 10 separate packets each containing a header several times bigger than the actual required information. This can lead to network congestion and deterioration. By…

To open a new session…
One of our long time Xshell users recently requested a new feature on our Xshell Forums. The user noticed that a triple-click select would capture the entire line except the new line character. This caused workflow stutters when re-adding lines from the scroll buffer or when copy and pasting. With Xshell Build 0697 and Xmanager Enterprise Build 0687 we’ve modified the triple-click select to include the LF. Let’s take a quick visual look at the differences. Below is a triple-click select pre Xshell…
With Xshell Build 0697 and Xmanager Enterprise Build 0687 we’ve added a couple options to aid in reducing clutter in your terminal window. If you have thousands of lines of scrollback buffer with a cluttered screen, you can easily clear the screen with the clear command, but the scrollback buffer still exists using up memory. With a program or other non-text file open, simply resetting your terminal may not be an option. We’ve now added the option to clear the…

This would be particularly useful in situations where you are monitoring several similar sessions such as clusters or your own personalized Xshell Tab Groups. With Xshell you can customize which sessions will receive keystrokes or your text input at any given time. Locate the text input bar at the…
