Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider [Conemu](https://conemu.github.io) or [Alacritty](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty) # Terminal features  * 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) # SSH Client  * 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 # Serial Terminal * Saved connections * Readline input support * Optional hex byte-by-byte input and hexdump output * Newline conversion * Automatic reconnection # Portable Tabby will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a `data` folder in the same location where `Tabby.exe` lives. # Plugins Plugins and themes can be installed directly from the Settings view inside Tabby. * [docker](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-docker) - connect to Docker containers * [title-control](https://github.com/kbjr/terminus-title-control) - allows modifying the title of the terminal tabs by providing a prefix, suffix, and/or strings to be removed * [quick-cmds](https://github.com/Domain/terminus-quick-cmds) - quickly send commands to one or all terminal tabs * [save-output](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-save-output) - record terminal output into a file * [sync-config](https://github.com/starxg/terminus-sync-config) - sync the config to Gist or Gitee * [clippy](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-clippy) - an example plugin which annoys you all the time * [workspace-manager](https://github.com/composer404/tabby-workspace-manager) - allows creating custom workspace profiles based on the given config * [search-in-browser](https://github.com/composer404/tabby-search-in-browser) - opens default system browser with a text selected from the Tabby's tab # Themes * [hype](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-theme-hype) - a Hyper inspired theme * [relaxed](https://github.com/Relaxed-Theme/relaxed-terminal-themes#terminus) - the Relaxed theme for Tabby * [gruvbox](https://github.com/porkloin/terminus-theme-gruvbox) * [windows10](https://www.npmjs.com/package/terminus-theme-windows10) * [altair](https://github.com/yxuko/terminus-altair) # Sponsors [](https://packagecloud.io) [**packagecloud**](https://packagecloud.io) has provided free Debian/RPM repository hosting # Contributing Pull requests and plugins are welcome! See [HACKING.md](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/blob/master/HACKING.md) and [API docs](https://docs.tabby.sh/) for information of how the project is laid out, and a very brief plugin development tutorial. --- Thanks goes to these wonderful people ([emoji key](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/emoji-key)):
