About Xshell
Xshell is a commercial terminal client for connecting to remote hosts. Session, quick command, tab and file managers can be pinned or set to auto-hide, and authentication profiles let one set of credentials apply to many saved sessions.
Workflow tools include quick command buttons, triggers that act when a string appears, a compose pane for drafting multi-line input, and script recording. It offers themes, per-session colour schemes and highlight sets, and can open RDP sessions inside the same window.
