I've updated/enhanced my session manager to allow selection from 3 different clients, now available from the same GitHub link given in the OP. It's been renamed to 3-way_CSM.exe Because it is now a "Three-Way Client Session Manager". Launching sessions in Tera Term, PuTTY or WinSCP.
Tera Term is the coolest because it allows scripted commands to be run following the automated (or Manual) login.

This all is just for Windows, right? Because on Linux I wonder why you would need a session manager. You just write your `.ssh/config` file and that's it. Launch the terminal, ssh into something, done. I mean you can do the same on Windows but most people like UI driven tools there.
Around 10 years ago at work I was using WinSCP on Windows which worked great, includes a session manager and you were able to set a lot of configuration values for your different sessions. What is your tool doing better? What does make it "professional grade"?
Maybe I also misunderstood something, so can you shine a bit of light at it maybe?

Before I looked into the Github repository I thought you had programmed it with PureBasic but it seems to be mainly a C and C++ project. So why do you talk about #PB_Any and stuff if there is no Purebasic involved?Randy Walker wrote: Thu Nov 06, 2025 8:24 amThis was the first occasion I found a use for #PB_Any in gadget creations. The ttl filenames are loaded and displayed below the "Pick your Macro file" line using #PB_Any because that was the easiest way to generate an unknown number of OptionGadgets. Of course if you have no ttl macro files the area below Pick your macro file will remain blank.

The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

Yes For Windows Only. WinSCP is a really great Tool, As is PuTTY which is why I decided they should be options in my session manager. Just unfortunate PuTTY has no automation abilities. KiTTY (fork) is allegedly able to do some automation.NicTheQuick wrote: Sun Jan 18, 2026 2:30 pm This all is just for Windows, right? Because on Linux I wonder why you would need a session manager.

I'm pretty much done with the Session Manager project so I won't be adapting it to use KiTTY instead of PuTTY. Sorry. Although, nothing to stop users from renaming KiTTY.exe to PuTTY.exe if they prefer KiTTY, I guess. Might work.
