Tabby is an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY or iTerm
-
Tabby is not a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider Conemu or Alacritty
- A V220 terminal + various extensions
- Multiple nested split panes
- Tabs on any side of the window
- Optional dockable window with a global spawn hotkey ("Quake console")
- Progress detection
- Notification on process completion
- Bracketed paste, multiline paste warnings
- Font ligatures
- Custom shell profiles
- Optional RMB paste and copy-on select (PuTTY style)
- SSH2 client with a connection manager
- X11 and port forwarding
- Automatic jump host management
- Agent forwarding (incl. Pageant and Windows native OpenSSH Agent)
- Login scripts

Tabby will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a data folder in the same location where Tabby.exe lives.
